Ozdoev explained why he did not renew the contract with Zenit

Former midfielder “Zenith” Magomed Ozdoev said he left the St. Petersburg club in search of motivation and did not see his decision as a mistake.

Ozdoev decided not to renew the deal with Zenit, which expired on June 30.

Zenit offered me a contract in January. The conditions suited me. I wanted to talk to the coach to make sure he needed me. The conversation took place at training camp in February. Semak said I was needed. I asked for time to reflect, while giving no guarantees to Zenit. In February, a variant with Europe appeared. On February 22, my transfer failed, but I was already ready for a new challenge. In May, I finally decided that I had to leave.

I explained my position to Alexander Ivanovitch (Medvedev). He understood everything. For me, the decision to leave Zenit will never be a mistake. It was about finding a new motivation. There is no role for Semak in my departure, – Sport24 quotes Ozdoev.

Last season, 29-year-old Ozdoev scored 2 goals and provided one assist in 16 appearances for Zenit.
