Starting from the middle of the zero, Russian football has been led by almost one St. Petersburg, and specifically - Zenitsky . Vitaly Mutko was replaced by the chairman of the board of directors of the St. Petersburg club, and part-time head of Gazprom Neft, 51-year-old Alexander Dyukov . All of them are St. Petersburg, everyone came out of the more or less successful presidents of Zenit - and Mutko, Fursenko, and Dyukov. It is not clear how Nikolai Tolstykh, a stubborn Moscow functionary, who went to work on the subway, was clogged in a glorious company, could not stay as the President of the RFU for a long time. And back in 2005, Vitaly Mutko was trodden in 2005, and in all respects, a stormy stay at the very football-sports top lasted until December last year. The second time, who took the position of chief football player, in 2016, Mutko could continue to care for his favorite business until 2020, but for the sake of reassuring the world community now, the deputy prime minister and the chief builder had to finally put the presidential powers. There was someone to convey them.
The fact that Alexander Dyukov is the only candidate for the post of president of the Russian Football Union became known in mid -January, when the deadline for filing applications expired.
No one tried to create at least the appearance of competition, as happened before. With the nomination of the St. Petersburg heavyweight, the meaning of the alternative, respectively and the election struggle, disappeared.
300 delegates of an extraordinary elected conference unanimously raised mandates, and Alexander Valerievich Dyukov became the head of Russian football. Of course, he, of course, did not leave the third largest in the production and processing of oil without his leadership from the post of chairman of the board of directors of Zenit, but, of course, did not leave the company of Russia without his leadership. Such a combination worked only in a plus - as many people hope, the finances, in which the RFU needs permanently, came there themselves.
However, an impressive person from the Forbes list is unlikely to immediately fill up Russian football with money. Dyukov came with another - teach and help them earn money. And to make a thousand cases-from the revival of courtyard football to the entry of the national team into the first ten FIFA rating (now we are in 50th place), from the construction of the arena throughout the country to permission to sell beer during matches, from the introduction of information technology to the creation of a “economically stable football system”.
Dyukov can already enter with the nickname “Sasha five percent” - just so much from the total population of the country, according to the new leader, should ideally drive the ball to the joy of himself and people.
To carry out grandiose projects, you need to work on them 24 hours a day, but so far Alexander Dyukov has only promised to devote more time to devote more time than he devoted to the Zenit football club. Already inspires the hope that at least one of the desired will come true. The euphoria has not yet passed from the home championship, the hangover has already come, and this is not inspired by the habitual state for a Russian person.
Nobody knows with gigantic objects erected to the mundial of gigantic objects in the regions that have lost great football and the Limit system and the Limite for Legionnaires. So far, in addition to a wide slide and confident promises to bring football Russia to a new level, the mechanisms of such a conclusion are visible weakly. Alexander Dyukov, of course, is not a romantic of the model Sergei Fursenko, who, when the President of the RFU, introduced the moral code of the builder of footballism. But to equip Zenit and equip all football Russia are too different things. A wrong assessment of the scale has destroyed more than one domestic converter.
By the way, Sergey Fursenko, who returned to the post of President of Zenit two years ago, lost his post exactly the same day that the chairman of the board of directors of Alexander Dyukov was elected President of the RFU. And the liberated club presidential chair was taken by the Gazprom top manager, ex-president of St. Petersburg SKA, creator and ex-president of the Continental Hockey League Alexander Medvedev. From the real leadership, the revolutionary project of Alexander Ivanovich was removed five years ago not least because he failed to use the existing administrative resource to win SKA. Coopperity will not pass with Zenith, so Medvedev will have a hard time.
The Circle of Football Loving Football, on whose deficit, the newly elected President of the RFU complained. And directly the football people are glad and the little that was proposed. On a good way.
