On August 5, the head coach of the Moscow Spartak Dmitry Alenichev was fired from his post after the defeat from Cyprus Aek in the qualification round of the Europa League. Before the appointment of a new mentor, his duties will be fulfilled by Massimo Carrera. Opinions regarding the decision of the club’s leadership parted - some consider the resignation of the coach “Honored”, others are perplexed why this had to be done at the very beginning of the season.

“The Russian billionaire fired the 13th coach of Spartak over the past 13 years”-Friday newspapers were released with such headlines, commenting on the resignation of the Red-and-White mentor. The most titled player in the history of Russian football was the thirteenth head coach of Spartak, dismissed from the moment the sports tycoon Leonid Fedun acquired the team in 2003. At the time of the dismissal of Alenichev, Spartak was in the first place in the tournament table of the Russian championship.

Following Alenichev, the coaches of Yegor Titov and Oleg Samatov decided to leave the club. Titov called the coaching headquarters logical. According to him, the decision was made of his own free will, but he has not yet built any plans.

In any other layout, the coach is removed

The most concise answer to the question of the reasons for the resignation of Dmitry Alenichev was given to journalists in the club’s leadership. In an interview with the Euro-Futbol.ru portal, a source in the leadership said that Alenichev left the head of the head coach due to the failure of the “red-white” in the European League.

“What is there to comment? He was removed even before the start of the European campaign. The leadership set the task of getting into the group of the Europa League, in any other situation, the coach starred. ” The source emphasized that not only the coach, but also the players knew about such “rules”: “The installation was given to everyone, everyone was responsible for the result, you were not surprised by the lack of comments of players in the press?” In the leadership, he also called the “nonsense” information that the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov personally demanded tough changes in the club after the match with Aek.

Earlier this week, the football players of the Moscow Spartak could not reach the rank of playoff qualifications of the Europa League, in the sum of two matches, having lost to Cyprus Aeku. On Thursday, August 4, in the return match of the third qualification round of the Europa League, the Red-White in Moscow lost Aeku with a score of 0: 1. The only goal in the game was scored by Ivan Trechkovsky. In the first match, at the exit of Spartak, he tied with a score of 1: 1.

This is not understood

In the club itself, they responded differently to the dismissal of the head coach of the team. So, a member of the Board of Directors of Spartak, the brother of the actual owner of the Red-White Andrei Fedun said that the resignation of Alenichev for him "this is pleasant news."

“In my opinion, Dmitry did not show himself how the coach during the time spent in Spartak,” said Andrei Fedun in an interview with TASS .

The pupil of the Moscow Spartak Vladimir Obukhov spoke sharply to Alenichev. In his Instagram, Obukhov, who now plays for the Kuban, said that as coach Alenichev has nowhere to go below.

“Alenichev is really a great player who is not in Russia. But as a coach and as a person he is nowhere below. Look at all his interviews. He always blames the players, he never took the blame on himself and only said that he was trying to convey something to the players, but they did not listen to him. What is this nonsense? The fact that he did not take me the basis is only my fault. I know and see that this coach will not lead Spartak to the championship. And I am no less than yours to make Spartak become a champion, ”Obukhov wrote.

In turn, the former red-white midfielder Valery Kekinov said that the decision of the Spartak leadership to send Dmitry Alenichev at the beginning of the season is not very clear, since the new contract with him was signed recently.

“I reacted negatively to the resignation of Alenichev. She became unexpected for me. I am surprised by this decision of the leadership. What was the point of signing a contract with him before the start of the season, then to dismiss him after the third game? This is not understood, ”Kechinov’s words quoted R-Sport .
