“I did not play the son of the investor of the club”: Sergey Yuran was fired from Khimki

“Agreed on short-term cooperation”

Khimki head coach Sergey Yuran is leaving his post. The day before, a number of media outlets wrote that the specialist was informed of his dismissal, and today this information was confirmed by the former Minister of Sports of the Moscow Region Roman Teryushkov, a member of the Supervisory Board of the club.

“We talked about a kind of short-term interaction: staying among the elite and preparing for the new season. Now we have come to the conclusion that it is necessary to part by mutual agreement.

We agreed yesterday. In the near future, documents will be signed, compensation will be paid.

For the second time Sergey Yuran leaves the post of head coach of a club near Moscow with a scandal – and the second time unexpectedly and suddenly. This happened for the first time in August 2020, after which the expert wondered why the club management did this to him.

“I didn’t understand how it was possible to do this to me – like a trashed dog. For what? There would be a reason – no question. But when things like this happen… Is it because we played in the cup final and reached the RPL?

I was so angry at this situation that I couldn’t keep quiet. “I still don’t understand why I was fired two years later,” he said. Sports24.

Resignation after victory

If Khimki fails at the start of the season, the current resignation of the coach can be logically explained. For example, such a situation occurred in the Ural, who did not score a single point, scored one and conceded ten goals in the first four games of the Russian Premier League (RPL). Against this background, no one is surprised that the head coach of the “bumblebees”, Igor Shalimov, showed the door.

The paradox is that Khimki started the season very cheerfully. In the fifth round, the team comes in seventh with seven points, two wins and a draw.

And even if the victories are won over not the strongest opponents – Pari NN, which has undergone global changes compared to last season, and Torpedo, which stalled after returning to the RPL – the value of these six points cannot be underestimated. . And it was at that moment, immediately after the victory over Torpedo, that Juran was informed of his dismissal.

We will never know what the real reasons for this resignation were. socialbites.ca turned to Sergei Yuran himself for a comment, but did not receive a response – and this is expected: now the specialist needs to solve other problems.

Undoubtedly, at some point he will again appear in the press with a fiery interview, where, among other things, he will tell about whether cooperation with the club was originally planned in the short-term. But until that happens, rumors and insiders abound in the media space.

“I did not include the son of the club’s investor in the game”

Thus, journalist Sergei Ilyev claims that the reason for Yuran’s dismissal was a conflict with one of the main shareholders of the club – Tufan Sadigov. Allegedly, in the away game with Rostov, the only person Khimki has lost this season, they argued that the coach did not include the 21-year-old striker Ilya from Sadygov.

“According to my information, the conflict occurred after the match in Rostov-on-Don, where Sergei Yuran did not bet on the game to Ilya Sadygov, the son of Khimki’s main investor Tufan Sadygov.

The rupture wave went from there, ”Ilyev wrote telegram channel.

It is interesting that another scandal was indirectly connected with the name of Ilya Sadigov: in April of this year, the media reported that Yuran with a series of actors exactly Sadigov Jr. He reported his conflict as he could find a place at his base. These rumors did not receive official confirmation and almost the entire main team, with the exception of Reziuan Mirzov, went to the next match with CSKA. But Sadygov was just at the beginning and helped the Khimki team to a sensational victory against the army team with a score of 4:2. Also, agent Dmitry Selyuk accused Yuran of allegedly taking money from players for a place at the base, but this information remained only at the level of rumors.

Echoes of the “Matyunin case”

There is another suggestion as to why Juran left Khimki. by telegram channel Mutko vs., the reason for his resignation may be related to the scandalous match between Khimki and Krylya Sovetov and the Matyunin case. Recall that at the end of April, the teams met each other. Then Khimki won with a score of 4:1. Ashot Khachaturyants, head of RPL at the time, said a referee check had found that referee Alexei Matyunin made “nine major mistakes in favor of Khimki and only one major mistake in favor of Krylia Sovetov”.

According to the source, Khimki set the condition that everyone involved should be removed from the team. This group allegedly includes Juran.

One way or another, the second stay of Sergei Yuran in Khimki was accompanied by scandals and ended with them. The problem with coach or leadership is an open question. However, it is worth noting that another former Khimki coach, Igor Cherevchenko, who has assumed this role twice in a short time, has given up on returning to the club once again.

“It is out of the question for me to return to Khimki,” said the expert. “Pair TV”.

Pisarev – in “Khimki”, Yuran – in “Ural”

According to the media, the name of Sergei Yuran’s successor in Khimki is already known.

Lead a team near Moscow, as it claims “Championship” Citing a knowledgeable source, Nikolai Pisarev, assistant head coach of the Russian national team Valery Karpin should do.

Given that on the ground of sports sanctions, the national team exists more like a nominal unit, and Karpin and his other deputy, Viktor Onopko, are quietly working in Rostov, nothing supernatural appears in the possible appointment of Pisarev. However, there is no official confirmation of this information yet.

Rumors about the future of Yuran, although they have already appeared, cannot be called reliable. Well, “Sport-Express” announced that the specialist will continue his career in the Ural, where the head coach position was vacated the day before. Also, according to the publication, Yuran has already met with the head of the club from Yekaterinburg, Grigory Ivanov, who allegedly took a personal interest in the coach. Ivanov himself, in a conversation with a socialbites.ca correspondent, refused to reveal any details about who will head the Ural.

“I will not say anything about the coach. When everything is ready for us, you will learn everything, ”said Ivanov.

“This is a strange resignation for the result of the team”

The situation for “socialbites.ca” was commented on by the honorary head of the RFU Vyacheslav Koloskov. He admitted that the reason for Yuran’s dismissal could be a disagreement with the club’s shareholder Sadigov because of his son, the football player.

“When decisions are made about firing a coach, managers take into account many situations, but the main thing is the result. So everything became clear with Shalimov’s resignation. When Grigory Ivanov was asked why, he simply replied: “Look at the rows.”

As for Yuran, not everything is bad in terms of the result – he is good, and the team’s play is staged as a whole. It can be seen that the coaching hand is present.

This means that the reasons for dismissal are different, outside the football field. If they had explained why he was fired, negotiations could have been made.

So, what could be the reasons? Disputes with club management or inconsistencies with players. I don’t want to daydream, but in terms of results, this is a strange resignation.

Could there be a disagreement with Sadigov over his son? When the fate of the team depends on one person, of course, there can be a certain pleasure.

But it is very difficult for me to develop this subject as I am not sure what the real reason is. In principle, such a possibility is real when there are disagreements between the owner of the club and the coach, since the owner determines the policy of the club, including the staff. So theoretically, it could be,” Koloskov admitted.
