Ex-Lokomotiv president spoke about downsides of Abascal’s appointment to Spartak

Ex-president Lokomotiv Ilya Gerkus commented on the news of the appointment Guillermo Abascala for the head coach “Spartacus” .

– Little experience, to be honest. He doesn’t have full seasons at the top level, so it’s hard to judge if he’s a strong coach. We can say that he is not very experienced. We know he hasn’t coached in the big leagues. There is a special specificity in Russian football: calendar, flights and some other nuances. Abascal will face it for the first time, he will have to learn to work in such conditions.

At one point we considered a Basel coach at Lokomotiv. We were in tenth place, so we had to think about options. Our candidate won the Swiss championship and the Cup with Basel, beat Manchester United in the Champions League group stage and left the group. The level of our candidate was certainly higher than that of the new coach of Spartak, but, as they say, the owners know better,” Gerkus told RB Sport.
