Grozny Akhmat Names Miroslav Romashchenko as Head Coach, Announces Supporting Staff and Context
The Chechen club Grozny Akhmat has publicly confirmed the appointment of Russian football expert Miroslav Romashchenko as the club’s new head coach. The news was shared through the team’s official communications on their Telegram channel, signaling a deliberate shift in leadership aimed at driving the squad’s competitive performance in the upcoming seasons.
Official statements outline a dedicated support team to accompany Romashchenko in his new role. The coaching staff includes Robert Evdokimov as coach, Andrei Sosnitsky as senior coach, Alexander Goncharov as physical education coach, and Vadim Arkhidyakonskikh as coach-analyst. This ensemble is positioned to work closely with Romashchenko to implement strategies, training plans, and match-day procedures that align with the club’s long-term objectives.
Romashchenko’s contract with Akhmat extends through the summer of 2026, signaling a multi-year commitment intended to provide stability and a clear continuity plan for the team’s development. The duration of the contract reflects the club’s intention to invest in a long-term project, rather than pursuing short-term fixes, as they aim to climb higher in the league standings and establish a more consistent performance baseline.
Romashchenko’s coaching career includes a notable stint between 2011 and 2013 at Terek, where he worked at the football club’s headquarters under the guidance of Stanislav Cherchesov. His most recent roles before joining Akhmat involved work with Ferencvaros in Budapest, where he gained exposure to different tactical environments and training methodologies. This diverse background is expected to inform his approach at Akhmat, combining Russian football experience with international perspectives obtained in Hungary.
In the current Russian Premier League season, Akhmat sits in the 11th position in the standings after four matches, having accrued three points. The club faces a demanding schedule as it tests new systems and personnel under Romashchenko’s leadership. The arrival of a structured coaching setup aims to accelerate the team’s adaptation to his philosophy, with the goal of increasing consistency across results and improving performances at home and away venues.
Former football player Vladimir Khubulov provided a brief comment related to Ramzan Kadyrov, illustrating the broader attention and interest that accompanies leadership changes within the club. Such remarks underscore the heightened spotlight on Akhmat as it charts a course for future success, both on the field and in the broader regional sports landscape. Coaches, players, executives, and supporters alike will be watching closely as Romashchenko implements a fresh strategic framework and guides the squad through essential early-season challenges.
