Athletistic / Football. Former Lokomotiv head coach Yuri Semin spoke about the contract extension between Semak and Zenit.
Yuri Pavlovich assessed this news positively. He considers it a good sign when a Russian coach is offered a long-term job.
“I think it’s good when your Russian coach works for a long time in a club like Zenit. Sergei Bogdanovich has excellent results, so it is a fair and just decision that Semak deserved another five years to work in this club! There is no risk either for the coach or for the club “Zenit” is one of the best European clubs where everyone would be happy to work in the St. Petersburg club,” Semak said.
The day before, Zenit announced its intention to extend the contract with Semak for another five years with a salary increase.
