Athletistic/Football. Zarema Salikhova, the wife of former Spartak Moscow owner Leonid Fedun, has criticized the current sporting director of the red and whites, Paul Ashworth. She suggested what position Spartak players could now occupy in the RPL.

“Spartak’s sports department works much worse than Thomas Zorn. During Zorn’s time, Alex Kral and Jordan Larsson joined the team, which now plays in the Champions League. Without FIFA rules, the club would have managed to recoup the money spent Among the Russian players acquired at that time, Sobolev became a first-team player. Additionally, Domenico Tedesco is now recognized as one of the best coaches in the world.

And Paul Ashworth gave up on Pinyaev and other young players from Krylia Sovetov, who were worth a penny compared to the transfers of Jesus Medina and Theo Bongonda. And he didn’t take Hakim Ziyech, Promes’ friend, as a free agent. Young people are not progressing now, Meleshin lost an extremely important year for his career, sitting on the bench, I also feel sorry for Pavel Maslov.

It’s scary to imagine who Ashworth might invite as his next coach. With such a weak Russian championship, as well as turbulent Zenit, understrength CSKA and Krasnodar, who lack the winning spirit, with the merged Dynamo and Sochi media club, Spartak must be in ahead of everyone by a margin. The fault lies not only with the coach,” Salikhova said, as quoted by Metaratings.ru.

Spartak has scored 27 points in 16 matches and is in fourth place in the Russian Premier League standings. The gap with leading Zenit is now six points. Guillermo Abascal’s team will play their next match on December 3, away to Akhmat.
