Athletistic/ Football. Zenit CEO Alexander Medvedev has commented on Artyom Dziuba’s departure from the team at the end of last season.

“Renewal itself is not an easy process. Especially if you lose the legend. That Dziuba has achieved such status is beyond doubt. Changes, however, are inevitable. In 99 out of 100 cases, players are not ready to admit that they are not the same anymore. If a footballer wants to stay, then you have to understand that the role and the salary will change,” explained Medvedev.

Artyom Dziuba left Zenit as a free agent. At the moment, the Russian striker is still without a club.
