Former Krasnodar midfielder “Kuban” Alexei Seline commented on reports that “Krasnodar” will soon extend the contract with the team’s head coach Vladimir Ivich .
— This is a logical aspiration of the Krasnodar leadership. When a team gets a result, they don’t want to change anything. On the contrary, there is a desire to extend the agreement with the coach in order to develop further.
— Is there a risk that Ivic will feel indispensable if his contract is extended now?
— There is always a risk. Football players suffer from second season syndrome. First, the player shoots, then his opponents treat him differently and he himself reduces his demands on himself. The same thing can happen with a coach. But Ivich is a fairly ambitious specialist. During the year in Krasnodar, he proved to be a good team – so why not extend the contract with him?
— Can we already say that Krasnodar made the right decision in appointing Ivich?
— If we evaluate the first part of the current championship, it was not a mistake, because Krasnodar entered the break as the leader of the standings. But it is better to draw conclusions at the end of the season. God forbid, an unsuccessful series happens and the team, for example, falls out of the top three. In this case, we will no longer talk about the fact that Ivic achieved certain results, but about the fact that he failed to keep the team at the top and lost the advantage. Recall that Krasnodar was seven points ahead of second place, but they lost it. It is therefore better to wait until the end of the season. As they say, we count chickens in the fall. In our case, points are counted in the spring.
— Krasnodar surely also wants to make it more difficult for other clubs to attract Ivic. For example, there were rumors that Spartak Moscow was interested in him.
– Of course, other clubs can intercept Ivic. They see that it is showing results in Krasnodar. Spartak has more transfer opportunities and has more ambitions. Therefore, Krasnodar must renew the contract with Ivich, impose some kind of penalty and move on. By analogy with players, a coach can also claim promotion to a higher status team. If Krasnodar wins the championship this season, Spartak, with its history and titles, will still remain a great team by Russian standards. “Krasnodar is still a young club in this regard,” Selina quoted Euro-Futbol.Ru as saying.
