Athletistic/Football. In recent years, Zenit has become the hegemon of the Russian football championship. The St. Petersburg club has won the national championship every year since the 2018/2019 season. Former Blue-White-Blue head coach Mircea Lucescu spoke about it.

– So because they had more potential! For example, CSKA, when I left the RPL, had a very old team. There was a need for a generational change, which the army team succeeded in achieving. The same goes for Spartak: many important players who helped win the title in 2017 have left the red and white. Among them are Fernando, Luiz Adriano, Ze Luis and others.

But it was in a difficult period for other clubs that Zenit built a good competitive team. In St. Petersburg, they deserved everything they achieved,” Lucescu was quoted as saying by SE.
