The Dagestan club unexpectedly changed the owner, head coach and development vector, deciding to live even more economically

On New Year's Eve, clouds thickened in Makhachkala and a football thunder struck. The oligarch Suleiman Kerimov, who steamed Anji for a whole five -year plan, who rebuilt a cool stadium, but did not create a superblub on the shores of the Caspian, - self -stabbed himself. The new cartridge of the team and the main shareholder was Osman Kadiev, a man and a businessman, known far beyond the boundaries of sports arenas. However, instead of traditional promises to take the quarry, improve and deepen the leadership of the yellow-green announced the desire to sell almost all the leading players of the current composition and reduce the budget to the maximum, planning to pay their actors no more than one million rubles a month ...

But even 3.5 years ago, most of the Anji stars were enriched for such an amount (only in the euro) in a couple of days, the bank account of the Hus Hiddinka coach increased by a single with six zeros in less than 24 hours, but Samuel E. E. earned the notorious million actually overnight. The country was indignant at such transference, football Europe was waiting for the offensive by Anji on all fronts, but the feast during the plague ended as rapidly as it began. In August 2013, Kerimov, who dreamed of gold medals and the Champions League, but did not disconnect champagne, referred to the problems in business and at once turned the Shapito show, signing the free pocket and health to the legionnaires, led by the steep Camerian and Aborigines, led by Igor Denisov.

By the fall, a pair of foreign expensive legs and Haji Gadzhiev remained from the superproekt, who made an important recognition: “The sale went effectively, we returned all our money.” However, the team, who was the chief favorite and contender almost for all trophies-2014, did not win a single victory in 15 (!) Batches and in the spring went to the first league. True, Kerimov, who received at the exit instead of fanfar and cups, the club did not abandon and continued to finance it, according to a new modest rate. The Makhachkala residents returned to the elite on the move, and then they stayed there through the butt matches.

In the current Anji championship he did not make a breakthrough, but he took the points from Zenit and CSKA, and under the sensitive leadership of the Czech coach Paul Verba, to the winter break, broke away from the dangerous zone of 6 points. It seemed that "in Baghdad, everything is calm." But five days before the New Year, the oligarch tired of the insidies in the offsays, who was smelling a total of a yellow-green toy, according to various estimates, almost a quarter of his condition, passed the post. Osman Kadiev, who said that he “wanted to unite all the football Dagestan, whether“ Anji ”,“ Khasavyurt ”, Dagdizel or Dynamo, and move forward, took under his wing.

By the way, a businessman, to whom the FBI has many questions (back in 2002, the American intelligence agencies issued a warrant for an international search for an entrepreneur accused of forking documents and extorting money from immigrants from the USSR), at the beginning of the zero for 5 years was the president just the same Makhachkala Dynamo. It was with him that the blue and white lost their professional status, and Kadiev himself was excommunicated for a year from English fun. This happened after, during the break of the fight between Dynamo and Kuban, the harsh cartridge and its environment had physical impact on individual football players and the security service of the Krasnodarians ...

Having left the disqualification, Kadiev plunged into the Moldavian championship, investing funds in Nistr and occupying the chair of the chairman of the board of directors of the club. Then he periodically helped with money and tips “Nizhny Novgorod” and “Volga”, which sunk alternately into oblivion. And now the odious boss took control of Anji, formulating the main task clearly and clearly: to maintain a residence permit in the Premier League and rely on Russian personnel later, preferring young people.

To this end, former judge Igor Egorov was appointed to the post of head of the team, and Alexander Grigoryan was invited to the post of head coach. A 50-year-old specialist, known primarily for working with women's groups and has recently worked in the FNL, admitted that he had been waiting for such a chance all his life, but refused to discuss the spring prospects of Anji. And the prospects are very foggy. Since the club is supposedly ready to part with 16 (!) Players, and 13 of them are ready to release as free agents. That is, now the names of those with whom Grigoryan, who had overcome in the Russian Cup with “SKA-Khabarovsk” “Spartak”, will enter the remaining part of the season in September now, even psychics will not be able to.

One thing is obvious: with any transfer outcomes, strict reformatting-2017 with a probability of 99% will discard the Anji, which turns into an Anji pumpkin in the last century, which will be extremely difficult to get out of which. And if the Dagestanis soon repeat the fate of “Asmarala”, “Alania”, “Rotor”, “Saturn” and FC “Moscow”, who lived on the principle “There is money - Yegor Egorych, there is no money - Egor is a bastard”, I will not be surprised.

Chapter "SA-football agency":

- In the club, we stepped on one rake twice. It seems that they bought expensive players every year, but there is no result. The price proportion is not realized at all: the costs did not correspond to the results at all. If you invest a lot of money, the team should play at least in the Europa League. When you get some kind of fee from UEFA, you can still talk about something. But when you fight for 8-9th place, then what's the difference? Spend or not to waste. Everything burst like a soap bubble.

Now a new owner has come to the club, has brought his philosophy. In football, Osman Kadiyev is not the first day, and in principle he even knows that it costs how much. I like his philosophy. He wants a priority to be put on Russian football players. This is the first important step, although it has not yet materialized.

The person took upon himself the obligations that he could fulfill. He would not have taken up Anji if it were a dubious project.

Football agent and coach:

-I wonder why this happened with Anji already in 2013 and is repeated again? There was a disappointment. In principle, Anji has recently not been spent like in 2013. But still, even these expenses seemed excessive. They tried to make a team for a relatively short time and for moderate money that would fight for the Europa League, but it did not work out.

I think that Suleiman Kerimov was already disappointed in an old and very unsuccessful project, into which he invested a lot of money by stupidity. And so he decided to give him to others who wanted to. Most likely, now Anji will become such a modest club, will try to live in the means, remaining in the Premier League.

Alexander Grigoryan-in principle, the coach is experienced, militant, nevertheless worked in the first league. The football players remained before whom the terms of the contracts should be met. But now in the team the calculation will be made on such players who will demand a little. By the way, it would be nice for all our clubs.
