Vyacheslav Koloskov weighs in on a potential Dynamo appointment and Stanislav Cherchesov’s candidacy
Vyacheslav Koloskov, who serves as the Honorary President of the Russian Football Union, offered his perspective on a possible move that would see Stanislav Cherchesov, the head coach of Hungarian club Ferencváros, take the helm at Moscow Dynamo. According to Koloskov, Dynamo does not appear to be actively examining the coaching market. He attends Dynamo games, communicates with the team’s management, and says he has not heard any credible talk about a coaching search or imminent changes in leadership. He frames the scenario as hypothetical, noting that if Dynamo were to pursue a new coach, Cherchesov would stand out as an excellent candidate .
Prior insider chatter from Nobel Arustamian had already floated the possibility of Cherchesov taking charge at Dynamo. At present, Dynamo’s head coach is Slavisa Jokanovic, a Serb who has faced a demanding season in the Russian Premier League. Dynamo sits in fifth place in the league standings, a position that fuels ongoing speculation about potential personnel shifts without definitive moves being announced.
Cherchesov’s recent tenure at Ferencváros began in late December 2021. Under his leadership, Ferencváros claimed the national championship and the domestic cup in the previous season, signaling a period of domestic dominance. Additionally, his guidance helped the club advance to the Europa League playoffs this season. Ferencváros topped their group, finishing ahead of Monaco, Trabzonspor, and Red Star, underscoring Cherchesov’s capacity to manage a competitive team on multiple fronts .
Reports from Asian clubs regarding Cherchesov’s possible role at Dynamo have circulated, with observers noting that he is among the coaches frequently discussed for high-profile assignments. Cherchesov’s name remains part of the broader conversation around Dynamo’s strategic direction as the club seeks to reinforce its squad and leadership in a competitive league environment .
