Former sports director of PARI NN Alexander Lipko discussed the departure of coaches Mikhail Galaktionov and Alexander Kerzhakov from the club.
In June 2022, Galaktionov replaced Kerzhakov as the team’s head coach. In November, Galaktionov announced that he himself was resigning from this position. He headed the Moscow Lokomotiv, having actually signed an agreement till the end of the 2023/24 season with the possibility of extension.
– According to Galaktionov, there are no questions, such an offer may be made once in a lifetime, the opportunity should not be missed out on. Previously, there were no Lokomotiv-level teams in his profession, this is a serious growth. When it comes to Kerzhakov, I think he “overexposed” himself. Ravil Izmailov proposed a contract agreed with the management, this is right info. Alexander believed for a long time, most likely did not concur. He finished the competition job, any coach after this tends to count on an increase in the agreement. The club’s management could have had a various viewpoint,” Lipko stated in an interview with Match TV.
After Galaktionov left PARI NN, Anton Khazov ended up being acting head coach. The club is 12th in the table with 19 points after 17 rounds of WORLD RPL.
