Roman Berezovsky, the former Dynamo Moscow goalkeeper who now serves as the goalkeeping coach for the Armenian national team, weighs in on salary levels across clubs in Armenia compared with those in the Russian Premier League (RPL).
He notes that only two or three Armenian clubs offer salaries that feel truly fair, while the landscape in Russia features many teams where compensation is higher across the board.
In his view, the standout or elite Armenian clubs pay roughly up to ten thousand dollars for some players, but those cases are rare and represent Armenian football by its own standards. He adds that the average Armenian salary is in the range of three to five thousand dollars. By contrast, in the RPL the majority of players earn substantially more, reflecting the bigger financial scale of Russian football and the broader sponsorship and television deals that support higher wages.
Beyond Dynamo, Berezovsky’s career has intersected with prominent clubs such as Zenit St. Petersburg, Torpedo Moscow in the capital, and Khimki near Moscow. He has been associated with the Armenian national team in a coaching capacity since 2020, contributing his extensive experience to the squad.
There was also discussion about whether Alexander Kovalenko, a player from Samara’s Wings of the Soviets, could be utilized by the Armenian national team, a topic Berezovsky has spoken about in various discussions surrounding team composition and strategy.
