Valery Karpin left Match TV
The former head coach of Spartak Moscow, Valery Karpin, stopped working at Match TV, where he was the editor-in-chief of football broadcasts. This was first reported by R-Sport, citing several sources, and then confirmed by Match TV.
In addition to managing football broadcasts, Karpin hosted his own program on Match TV - Total Analysis with Valery Karpin. According to Sports.Ru , Karpin's departure is due to the fact that the last "Total Analysis" was not aired. Why exactly this happened is not clear.
Match TV claims that Karpin left because he wanted to take up coaching again. “I never said that I planned to build a television career. First of all, I am a coach, ”Karpin is quoted in a Match TV press release.
“For everyone in the editorial office, this news came as a shock, nothing foreshadowed such a turn. What will happen to his program on the channel is not entirely clear, it is possible that it will be closed, although they can simply change the presenter, ”said the source.
- Rumors that Valery Karpin could leave Match TV appeared in June, when announced commentator Kirill Dementiev this. According to him, the general producer of the TV channel, Tina Kandelaki, actively lobbied for the appointment of Karpin as the head coach of the Tula Arsenal. He noted that in this way, Match TV wanted to get rid of Karpin's too large salary - according to other sources, it is about two million rubles a month.
- Several commentators and journalists have recently left Match TV. In May, a recording of a conversation between commentators Gennady Orlov, Kirill Dementiev and Alexei Andronov, which was not intended for the press, was published on the Internet, in which Orlov was heard sharply criticizing the channel's management for "bankruptcy". The commentator himself called the record fake.
