Former Russian national football team head coach Boris Ignatiev told he supports the Lokomotiv striker Artem Dzyubu who expressed a desire to become a coach after the end of his playing career.
On Saturday, Dziuba took part in a fan meeting within the framework of Moscow Sports Day and, answering questions from fans, said that in the future he wants to try himself as a coach.
– Why not? Dzyuba is capable of becoming a coach. Footballers tend to pursue their careers as coaches of junior teams or higher ranked teams. It’s very difficult to rebuild yourself after a football career and find another job if you’ve devoted half your life to football and you’ve been in the thick of it all the time. Another thing is how the transition from a player to a manager will take place. It just seems that I know everything, that I can do everything. A player and a coach are completely different professions. You have to know the methodology well, be able to build the training process.
Dziuba’s desire is good, I support him. He is well done, he correctly determined his future fate. We just need to get into this business faster, get some coaching skills.
In general, I would like players, after finishing their career, to work as coaches in youth teams, to start with them. Now, that rarely happens. Now everyone wants to train Spartak, Dynamo, Lokomotiv, etc. immediately. And who will coach the Orekhovo-Zuyevo team? This club also needs to be formed, you need to start from the bottom, Ignatiev told .
At the end of May, Dzyuba, who turns 35 in August, signed a new deal with Lokomotiv until the end of the 2023/24 season with the possibility of an extension for another year.
