Athletistic/Football. The Russian Football Union expresses satisfaction with the work of the head coach of the national team Valery Karpin and envisages long-term cooperation. However, according to RFU Secretary General Maxim Mitrofanov, the time has not yet come to discuss the contract extension.

“Our president Dyukov has repeatedly emphasized that we have full confidence in the head coach, we are satisfied with his effective work in difficult conditions. I think it is too early to discuss the issue of contract extension. We hope that the situation will evolve and that this will influence our decisions. In any case, we hope to have a long-term partnership with Valery Georgievich,” Mitrofanov was quoted as saying by TASS.

Recall that the current agreement with Karpin expires on August 1, 2024. He takes over as head of the national team on July 23, 2021.
