The Kazan Rubin leadership recently held discussions with Stanislav Cherchesov, the former head coach of the Russian national team and of Ferencvaros, according to Metaratings.ru. The talks focused on potential changes within Rubin’s coaching staff as the club evaluates its next moves in the Russian Premier League and beyond.
Insiders say Rubin is weighing the possibility of replacing head coach Rashid Rakhimov. Circulating reports indicate that the club gave the coach a narrow window, effectively two league matches, to stabilize Rubin’s position in the standings after the team entered a difficult phase in the Russian Premier League, sitting 14th with only two points at the time.

Stanislav Cherchesov’s career includes a notable spell at Ferencvaros, where he led the Budapest club to two Hungarian championships and a domestic cup victory. In 2022, Ferencvaros topped its Europa League group and advanced directly to the round of 16, where it was defeated by Bayer Leverkusen in the following stage. (Metaratings.ru)
Cherchesov’s tenure at Ferencvaros later ended after the team failed to progress in early Champions League qualifying rounds. The squad faced Klaksvik from the Faroe Islands, drawing 0:0 away but suffering a 0:3 home defeat in a qualifying encounter. Speculation linked Cherchesov with a potential move to Saudi club Al-Ahli following that period. (Metaratings.ru)
There are varying reports about Cherchesov’s long-term ambitions. Some sources quote statements from former agents suggesting the coach aims to lead a major club abroad, reinforcing the perception that his next move could be at a high-profile level beyond his time in Russia and Hungary.
