Finn-control
Lokomotiv fired Kai Suikkanen
In the KHL ninth resignation. Before the holidays, the leadership of Lokomotiv was surprised. Club President Yuri Yakovlev, after a defeat from Ak Bars with a score - 1: 3 resigned the head coach Kai Suykkanen. A new coach was appointed in Novokuznetsk, but Vyacheslav Bykov in the coming days will answer several difficult questions.The Finnish specialist Kai Suykkanen, who worked in Lokomotiv, made the best impression on the players. “We didn’t even consider him Finn,” says striker Ivan Tkachenko. - There was so much energy in him that this was not associated with Suomi. There were no questions last year. Kari Hikekil was calm in case of victory and in case of defeat. ”
Suikkanen established contacts, set up the game and for obvious reasons he did not work out. He saw the players at the end of July, and given the love of the owners of the team to personally form the composition, he had very little time to build what he saw in his dreams.
This is not to say that Lokomotiv shone in the current championship. But they scored glasses one more than last season, calmly beat weak teams and looked no worse than other favorites of the season. But all this turned out to be a little to the president, and after the defeat from Ak Bars, Suykkanen was dismissed. “I am disappointed with this decision, but I understand the owners,” said the Finnish coach for goodbye. - Maybe our game was not perfect and, of course, it did not suit many. But, I think that we moved in the right direction. ”
According to our data, Suikkanen lost his job and because in an interview with Yakovlev did not recognize his mistakes, but advised him not to go into the team and focus on his affairs. He, they say, keeps everything under control, works calmly, and now it is pointless to demand a win-win series, since it should properly prepare for the playoffs. The words that everyone should do their own business, and cost him work.
The next decision of the Bosses of the Yaroslavl club was no less sensational - the head coach was Czech Vladimir Vuytek, who said that he had already retired. True, his rest was strange. Either he almost signed an agreement with Siberia, he was negotiating with SKA.
It is difficult to understand how the Czech coach will be able to help Lokomotiv. His last work in the Dynamo Moscow said that he had lost his grip and the ability to squeeze the maximum from a strong team. But Vuytek knows how to behave with the president, and will not prevent him from delving into the hockey process. Judging by how it ended in recent years, Yaroslavl can be deleted from among the applicants for the Gagarin Cup.
The "railway workers" will save only the fact that other favorites are experiencing no less difficult times. SKA still has a competition of trainers, and there are almost 20 surnames on the list of St. Petersburg club. There is a serious analysis of the candidacy of the new head coach. I would like to take it seriously, but in the summer the headquarters of the St. Petersburg team also had a serious analysis of coaches, and Aivan Zannat was chosen.
In Salavat Yulaev, Vyacheslav Bykov is prevented from focusing on work in the national team. Last night, the team managers called the coach to understand how he was going to achieve success with the club if the team plays simply ugly. On Sunday, on their ice, the Ufa residents lost to Barys - 2: 6, although they led 2: 0.
There are questions from newcomers. The Swedish goalkeeper Eric Ersberg, who recently arrived on a very decent salary, already held two games. He did not manage to save the club in a meeting with Vityaz, and yesterday was replaced by missing five goals. "Do you want to say that I am working badly?" - Vyacheslav Bykov asked the journalists when they reminded him that he fired Andrei Nazarov after he wanted to work in the club. Now this question can be answered unambiguously. During the break, the team would not hurt to work with the head coach, but he will leave for the first stage of the Eurotour in Finland.
The new head coach of the Novokuznetsk Metallurg was Sergey Gomolyako, but at the same time he left his former assistants Dmitry Parkhomenko and Sergei Berdnikov in the club. Homolyako agreed to terrible conditions. It works with this composition, and some changes can only be made if it does not affect the team’s budget. At the same time, he will need to trust young people more.
Of the other results of the last gaming day before the break, it is worth noting the next Vityazh points. The most interesting thing is that the team’s leadership has already hinted to the chief coach that hockey is primarily a spectacle. And victories should not make a boring team near Moscow.
The results of matches. “Avangard” - “Ugra” - 6: 2, “Salavat Yulaev” - “Barys” - 2: 6, “Dynamo” - “Metallurg” MG - 4: 1, SKA - “Siberia” - 3: 1, “Lokomotiv” - “Neftekhimik” - 7: 2, “Vityaz” - “Dynamo” MN - 4: 5 (b), “AK) Bars ” - 3: 4,“ Atlant ” -“ Motorist ” - 4: 1.
