Let us remind you that Oleg Protasov resigned from the post of head coach of Dnepr after losing on aggregate to the Swiss Bellinzona in the second qualifying round of the UEFA Cup.

Protasov’s request was then granted. Vladimir Bessonov was appointed acting coach of the Dnepropetrovsk team.

Later it was reported that the ex-Dnepr coach could head the Romanian CFR from the city of Cluj. It was also written that allegedly Shakhtar President Rinat Akhmetov, during a face-to-face meeting in Donetsk, could offer Protasov the position of sports director of the club with a possible promotion in the future.

Meanwhile, various sports media stubbornly predicted the position of the head coach of Yaroslavl "Shinnik", but later this information was refuted.

At the end of September, the leaders of Krasnodar “Kuban” held negotiations with Protasov, who considered other candidates for the post of head coach of the club.

The Kuban press attaché emphasized that it was also possible that the team’s current coach, Pogos Galstyan, would be given the opportunity to finish the season as head coach.

Rescheduled matches of the 35th round Siberia - Sportakademklub - 1:1 Goals: Vasiliev, 12 - Khabarov, 22 Referee: Lobanov (Irkutsk) Novosibirsk. “Spartak” Vityaz - SKA - 2:1 Goals: Anokhin, 55; Lenichko, 68 - Grigalava, 81 Referee: Matsyura (Komsomolsk-on-Amur) Podolsk. "New Khimki"

Nevertheless, the ex-Dnepr coach was confirmed as the helmsman.

Oleg Protasov has become the third head coach of Kuban this year. At first, the Krasnodar team worked under the leadership of Alexander Tarkhanov , but he left the team due to health problems.

From April to August, the club was led by Sergei Pavlov , who then headed Yaroslavl Shinnik. Within a month and... O. the head coach was Poghos Galstyan.

It is known that Kuban will also have a new physical training coach.

It is curious that Andrei Yudin , a former partner of Oleg Protasov at Dnepr, works on the Krasnodar coaching staff.

On Wednesday, the rescheduled matches of the 35th round of the Russian Championship took place.

In Novosibirsk, “Sibir” met with the Moscow “Sportakademklub”. The match ended in a draw - 1:1. And Vityaz Podolsk, which hosted SKA Rostov, won with a score of 2:1.

Kaliningrad “Baltika”, after an offensive defeat in the 1/8 of the Russian Cup from CSKA on September 24, has not lost in the first division for the second match in a row. On September 28, Volga was defeated with a score of 2:0. On October 1, in the rescheduled match of the 35th round, the Kaliningraders hosted one of the contenders for entry into the Premier League, KAMAZ, on their field.

If they won, the club from Naberezhnye Chelny would overtake Ural in points.

And the difference with “Kuban”, which is in second place, would be only three points, which also would not seem like an insurmountable obstacle.

However, the Baltika players had their own opinion on this matter.

Already in the first half, Zavaliy scored a double. The guests tried to turn the tide of the match after the break, but Evstafiev, who scored the third goal against the guests in the 53rd minute, completed the rout of KAMAZ. No matter how hard they tried to win back, Baltika confidently brought the match to victory.
