“When Abaskal was invited to Spartak, I had doubts about his ability to succeed. However, out of respect for professional ethics, I refrained from any criticism. Now, after a while, I have the impression that Abaskal is far from football.
My opinion is based on his lineup decisions, his tactical decisions and his statements during press conferences. Football cannot be fooled. In Spartak, the coach must have certain knowledge, extensive experience, charisma and authority. Where did he work before Spartak? In Basel and in the youth and amateur teams of Italy and Spain? Why was he invited to Spartak? Just because someone gave him a good recommendation? This is unreasonable.
Yes, under his leadership, Spartak showed several good matches. But nothing more. There could be no other result! “Spartak” is not a place for experimentation! An already established specialist should come here, who will immediately gain the respect of the players.
Every coach has their own limitations. According to our observations, Abaskal is not yet ready to take on such responsibility. It’s not his fault, but that of those who invited him here. I do not rejoice in failure and do not consider his career over. But he still has a long way to go before he can lead a team like Spartak,” Gazzaev said in an interview with Sport-Express.
Abaskal will lead Spartak in the summer of 2022. In the previous season, under his leadership, the Moscow team took third place in the Russian championship. Currently in the Russian Premier League, Spartak is in seventh place with 20 points after 13 days.
