“It is better that Karpin does not utter Unai Emery’s name at all until the end of his life.
He thought he had watched his training sessions and he had already learned, now he can train. Emery didn’t even have a translator! Karpin was like a spacer between Emery and Leonid Arnoldovich, between coach and team.
Karpin’s ingratitude is striking. He was hired with practically no coaching experience, the Spanish debts of a bankrupt company were closed, he received the best team in the country, unlimited official rights: he is both general manager and coach, he trains both the technical staff and the management team.

More importantly, it had unlimited transfers! Other coaches have not come close to such influence and authority. But still, Fedun is to blame for everything.
I have a question: “Valery Georgievich, why did you run to Fedun for every sneeze? Perhaps you should have been more independent? After all, the important and main field of activity of Fedun is the oil industry , where he earned money for your prosperous future as well”.
The only thing Karpin can fault Fedun for is that he always refused to buy games and referees. In my opinion, Karpin was given too much at that time, just to hell at Spartak. He still can’t digest it,” Salikhov said as quoted by Sport-Express.
