Athletistic / Football. Former Russian national team midfielder Andrei Kanchelskis has said that awarding the honorary master of sports title to national team players and head coach Stanislav Cherchesov was unfair. Russian footballers and coaches received the titles after the team reached the quarter-finals of the 2018 World Cup on home soil.

“Of course it is not deserved. Our players, as well as the coach, had a fantastic chance to receive the title of Honored Masters of Sport. Manna from heaven has fallen. Even our Olympic champions do not receive a such a title for eighth place, only for one victory.

Yes, there was outrage from many people. They gave it away. Do not remove now.

Kanchelskis: ‘Grigoryan and Gogniev are a shame for Russian football’

Olympians get a scholarship, but there’s no money here. Players only received badges. Therefore, whether there is a title or not, it makes no difference. We won’t name names, but someone who understands football understands everything perfectly,” Sport24 Kanchelskis quotes.
