Former president of Lokomotiv Nikolai Naumov believes that the management of the capital club should allow the head coach to work until the end of the season Mikhail Galaktionov .
On Wednesday, Lokomotiv lost to Ural in the quarterfinal of the second stage of the FONBET regional route of the Russian Cup with a score of 0: 1 and was eliminated from the tournament. After the match, Galaktionov said that in Moscow he would hold a meeting with the club’s management due to the season’s unfulfilled task of reaching the Russian Cup final.
— Spring, of course, did not go well at all for Lokomotiv. But when you hire a young coach, and Galaktionov practically did not coach clubs, only youth, the youth team and a little in BET NN – and immediately went to Loko, then when the coach is so young , you have to understand that there are still a lot of bumps to fill. For now, he will become the coach that a big club like Lokomotiv needs. Therefore, you must understand this. Or endure it. And if you can’t stand it, you shouldn’t hire such a young coach. I think Galaktionov could not rebuild the team without Dzyuba. He played with Dzyuba and continues to play. But Dziuba is no longer there. And Suleymanov is far from Dzyuba in terms of skill level. And as a result, everyone was lost – Pinyaev was lost, even Mitai, a strong player, somehow became gray and invisible. I repeat, Galaktionov failed to rebuild the game without taking into account a great striker, but, for example, with Glushenkov. He cannot structure the game in such a way that Glushenkov fully reveals himself. The result is these unsuccessful matches. And the cup match against Ural was just some kind of disaster. There wasn’t even any pressure or pressure in the second half. Of course, this indicates the coach’s weakness.
– Do you think he will be fired?
“Now, of course, they will probably part ways with him, although I think he should have some time to work before the end of the season.” You can fire immediately only under one condition: if you hire a venerable trainer and understand that he can improve the situation very quickly. Because you can still improve it, compete for the top three. But with the game and tactics that Galaktionov now professes, of course, nothing will work.
— A venerable coach, for example, is Cherchesov?
– For example, Cherchesov. Yes, even take Cherevchenko – he is much more experienced than Galaktionov, he knows Lokomotiv. Only an experienced and strong coach can quickly correct the problem, he will immediately see with a trained eye and correct the game. After all, it must be adapted specifically for players who are leaders today – Zhemaletdinov, Glushenkov, the same Karpukas. We must give everyone a place so that they can fully express themselves,” Naumov said, as quoted by RB Sport.
