Former defender of the Russian national team Dmitry Sennikov suggested under what conditions the head coach of the Russian national team and Rostov Valery Karpin will remain in the national team. His words guide the way “Euro-Football.Ru”.
“The only thing I think about is that Karpin is being pursued by the top 5 clubs. Everyone wants him, he can go to a team fighting for the top positions. Of course, it is unlikely that the management of Spartak or Zenit will allow the combination of work in the club and the national team. But if he stays in Rostov He will definitely extend his contract with the RFU,” Sennikov said.
Karpin, who became head coach of Rostov in July 2021, led the Russian national team. He initially planned to combine studies in the national team and Rostov, but in early August he announced that he decided to focus on the national team, after which he left the club. After his suspension from the Russian national team, he again began to combine the two positions. The expert’s contract will continue until the end of July 2024.
Under his leadership, the national team managed to qualify for the play-offs in the 2022 World Cup, but could not participate due to suspension.
In the spring of 2022, the International Federation of Football Associations (FIFA) and the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) decided to suspend the participation of the Russian national team and all Russian clubs in all competitions controlled by these organizations. The Russians will miss the upcoming European Championships.
