The head coach “Sochi » Robert Moreno told that he did not know any of the team’s players before his invitation to the club.
After 18 rounds, Sochi closes the MIR RPL standings with 11 points. The Sochi team announced the appointment of 46-year-old Moreno as head coach in December.
—Are you a particular person?
– I try to be like that.
— Exactly how many people will you employ in Sochi?
– I can’t say it now. It’s about the constant work and progress of the team. And we must do everything to please our fans. We have to improve the club for it to progress. And for that we need to look at the current situation, because it doesn’t matter what happened a year or two ago. We need to look at the players we currently have and how they are developing. And based on that, their training and play makes a decision.
– You knew that [Дмитрий] Was Chistyakov praised?
— Yes, everything that happens at the club is agreed with me and the sports director. Nothing can happen without my participation. Difficulties don’t scare me! They just motivate.
Each club is an opportunity to discover something for yourself and develop something in the future. Previously, before working as a coach, I worked in a bank. And it was really a difficulty, a real challenge for me, because I was doing routine work, the same thing, without great expectations.
— When the list of Sochi footballers was opened, which name was the most famous for you?
– I did not know anyone. Usually, a coach follows the league in which he works. But already five days after the first call, I knew them all.
— You brought the coaching staff with you. Are you a family or professionals?
— Something in between, because, in my experience, sometimes it is even more important to have good people around you than good professionals. But here I am very happy to be surrounded by good people and good professionals.
— Are you going to invite footballers you know?
— It is important to know the player. But above all, I focus on its qualities. And I decide if he’s available, if he’s free and if he can play in this league, this team. This is the most important thing: his way of playing fits into the team. Because you can invite everyone you know, but it may not be suitable at all. And I am responsible for the result and the final goal, so the quality of the player is important, and whether I know him or not,” Moreno said in an interview with .
