“Spartak” finally fired Abaskal: who will become the new coach of the red and whites?

Athletistic/Football. On April 14, Spartak finally decided to fire head coach Guillermo Abascal. The Spaniard worked in Russia for almost two years.

Last season, Spartak, under his leadership, took 3rd place in the RPL.

Currently, Spartak is in sixth place in the Russian Premier League standings for the 2023/2024 season. The red and whites have scored 35 points in 23 matches.

Previously, information appeared in the media that Russian and foreign specialists could replace Abaskal in Spartak.

What will happen next? The media wrote that the main candidate to replace Abascal was the Dutchman Pascal Jansen. Spartak sporting director Tomas Amaral is in favor of his appointment. The names of other specialists appear in the Russian media – Stanislav Cherchesov and Valery Karpin.

The chairman of the board of directors, Oleg Matytsin, favors the appointment of Cherchesov, while Amaral promotes Jansen. There are no Russians on the shortlist of the club’s sports director – besides the Dutch coach, there is also Vladimir Ivich.

If Spartak listens to Amaral (and so far everything is going for this to happen), the team will soon have a new foreign coach. It is still unclear when the new Spartak coach will be announced. Sliskovich will prepare the team for the second leg of the 1/2 finals of the Russian Cup with Zenit, which will take place on April 17.

“Abaskal’s dismissal takes place a year late. This will not save the situation. Malyshev should also leave,” said. Zarema Salikhovawife of ex-owner of Spartak Leonid Fedun.

“Cherchesova at Spartak!” Never mind ! — wrote on social networks a famous Russian commentator and TV presenter Dmitry Guberniev.

“A year and a half ago, I said everything about Abaskal. Who is he anyway? It seems that God told the Spartak leadership that it was time for Abaskal to leave.

It doesn’t matter that he was fired three days before the match against Zenit. The only spring match where Spartak played well was against Zenit without Abascal,” said the former Spartak Moscow and Russian national team footballer. Alexander Mostovoy.

“I think it was not too late for the management to fire Abascal – they were just hoping until the last minute. Everything was clear yesterday. When you lose to a team that is in last place in the championship, it there is nowhere to go. It is better now to take someone so that the person during the remaining rounds watches the team in action.

Spartak has already realized that it won’t achieve anything with Zenit either. Kerzhakov is unlikely to do the same as Leshchuk. Judging by yesterday’s match, Zenit is only gaining momentum. Who can face Pedro at Spartak? Duarte? Cool? I just wonder who’s going to catch this Pedro.

I don’t think Abascal will appear anywhere else. It is from the cohort of Carrera, Vanoli and, in fact, Abascal – a set that will hang around in the second leagues and inflate bubbles that they trained Spartak,” said the former president of Spartak Moscow. Andrei Chervichenko.

“I reacted calmly, because everything was going in this direction – Abascal’s resignation was a matter of time. He would have been fired at the end of the season. But, apparently, it turned out that the club management agreed with the new coach the main thing is that the same coach comes to Spartak, which would allow the team to develop.

In Abaskal’s case, something different happened: he came to Spartak to gain experience. As a coach, he did not give anything to Spartak, but gained experience. It’s sad,” said the former Spartak Moscow footballer. Valery Kechinov.

Russian clubs do not participate in tournaments under the auspices of FIFA and UEFA. Currently, Zenit leads the Russian championship. The St. Petersburg club is 4 points ahead of second-placed Krasnodar. Earlier, the bleus-blancs-bleus beat the Bulls 2:1 away.
