Fetisov is looking for work in the USA

In an atmosphere of absolute secrecy, the visit of the Chairman of the State Committee for Physical Education and Sports of Vyacheslav Fetisov in North America takes place. This information "Izvestia" received from unofficial (but nevertheless deserving absolute trust) sources.

Fetisov’s business trip, according to this source, is associated with the NHL regular championship starting from the very beginning of October. It is possible that the chairman of the state sports is negotiating the return of the coach to one of the clubs. The reasons for the next sharp turn, in our opinion, are more than objective.

At one time, Fetisov agreed to vocabulate Russian sports only after he received a guarantee of the full support of all undertakings from the President of Russia. He spent four and a half months as chairman of the state sports, but no changes - and even prerequisites - did not appear for the better. Moreover, there are clear punctures. Until now, no 3 thousand athletes and coaches have been paid the so -called "presidential scholarships", although they promised $ 500 a month since June. Also, no one received announced prizes for prizes at the European and World championships.

A person close to the chairman of the state sports reported that he had given himself a "deadline." If by the beginning of January 2003 he will not turn the situation, then, as a conscientious person, he will announce a resignation.

However, the appearance of Fetisov in the coming days at the helm of the NHL club is almost excluded. Control matches have already begun already - and it is unlikely that general managers will trust the team of the team who spent several months far from the NHL and who will take time to delve into the situation.

Another thing is when it comes to the work of the Assistant coach. For such appointments, the most suitable period is now: the other day, the famous Paul Defender Kofiff was invited to the post of work with the "teams of the majority" in "Phoenix". However, after numerous rumors about the work allegedly offered to him in the spring, the work of the head coach is difficult to imagine that Fetisov agrees to become the second.
