“I did not say that Zavarzin was responsible for the separation of Spartak from Tikhonov” – Hadji

At the separation “Spartak ” With Andrei Tikhonov there were a whole series of reasons, and Yuri Zavarzin who at that time held the position of general director of the club, is in no way responsible for this, former administrator of the Moscow club Alexander Hadzhi told .

Zavarzin worked as general director of Spartak from 1997 to 2001. Tikhonov played for the “red and white” from 1992 to 2000. Haji was the team’s administrator from 1983 to 2008. Earlier, Zavarzin, in a interview with , had denied Khadzhi’s comments that the reason that pushed Spartak to part ways with Tikhonov was his conversations with the management regarding the bonus payment schedule.

– Now time has passed, he heals the wounds. I didn’t just say that [разговоры Тихонова с руководством по поводу задержки премиальных команде]. He probably fell out of the team. I couldn’t make up such things myself. But I in no way wanted to say that this was the reason for the break with Tikhonov. I did not say that Zavarzin was responsible for Spartak’s separation from Tikhonov. I have always been on good terms with Yuri Vladimirovich.

But it is clear that the guys want to receive bonuses now and not wait two or three months. It’s good. Of course, it was difficult for the club to get money at that time, but they were great: they worked and got it. But, I repeat, I could not invent these words out of the blue.

But it is also not true that the question of Tikhonov’s request regarding the timing of bonus payments became the reason for terminating the contract. This by no means played a decisive role. The separation of Spartak and Tikhonov is due to a whole set of reasons, it is like a snowball when one thing is superimposed on the other. But you will notice that neither Romantsev nor Tikhonov said anything bad about each other in these 24 years. The separation of Spartak and Tikhonov remains a mystery, Khadzhi told .
