Rubin and former CSKA head coach Leonid Slutsky sat down for an interview within the program Digital audio file. Laboratory. He noted that former Russia national team striker Alexander Mostovoy often surfaces in media circles.
For Slutsky, the situation is painful to watch. He said that some of the once iconic actors in football have drifted into caricature, their media presence marked by narrow views and endless, unfocused actions.
He reflected that there was a time when those players were among the best, or the best, which he admits was true. But now, in his view, they are essentially just talking heads, offering little substance beyond sound bites.
Alexander Mostovoy has not pursued coaching roles at professional clubs. He did serve at two Medialiga clubs in 2022.
In November, Leonid Slutsky stepped down from his role as Rubin’s head coach. It is recalled that on May 21, Kazan lost 1-2 to Ufa in the season’s closing match of the Russian Premier League, a result that left Rubin in 15th place and relegated to the National Football League, now known as the Major League, where the club had not played since 2002.
In earlier comments, Alexander Mostovoy spoke candidly about Abaskal’s chances to lead a top club after Spartak, challenging the odds and voicing his opinion on the club’s leadership prospects. [citation attribution]
