CSKA appoints Ilya Vorobyov to head coach role for 2024/2025 season

Ilya Vorobyov is slated to take over the helm of HC CSKA for the 2024/2025 season, a move confirmed by Championship. This transition comes as CSKA begins to chart a new course after a season of mixed results. The current CSKA head coach, Sergei Fedorov, sees his contract expire on April 30, 2024, leaving the team at a crossroads as they plan for the next campaign. This season, under Fedorov’s leadership, the squad fell short of the Gagarin Cup quarterfinals, losing 1:4 in a playoff series to Lokomotiv Yaroslavl, despite opening the series with a decisive 4:0 victory in Game 1. In the regular season of the Kontinental Hockey League, the army club finished in fourth place. [citation: Championship]
