Athletistic / Football. Aris head coach Alexei Shpilevsky responded to the news of the contract extension with striker Alexander Kokorin. The 33-year-old Russian has signed a new one-year contract with the Cypriot club.
“In ideal condition, Kokorin is a very important football player for our team. The way he has been for most of this season is not enough for Aris, Alexander himself understands this very well. We are on excellent terms with Kokorin, I told him so I said it more than once But I, as head coach, can understand it and the team feels it: if Kokorin is not. not in ideal condition, so he is not our assistant last year, Kokorin is a fantastic footballer!
I hope he has this stability. As I see it now, next year Kokorin wants to prove everything to everyone again. Alexander knows that this year has not been as successful for him and for our team. We expect more. I hope he will confirm it on the field,” Shpilevsky said, as quoted by the Championship.
This season, Alexander Kokorin played 32 matches for Aris in all tournaments, scored eight goals and provided two assists. The Transfermarkt portal estimates its market value at 900 thousand euros. Within Aris, Kokorin became champion of Cyprus in the 2022/2023 season.
