“A very interesting meeting. Completely consistent with what I said when they asked me who should lead Spartak? I replied that it should be a mature, experienced person with extensive experience of football at the highest level and, ideally, good coaching experience.
Stankovic meets all the criteria perfectly. I commented on dozens of matches with his participation at Inter and Lazio. He was a great footballer, a real top player. 17 titles in Italy, victory in the Champions League, captain of the Serbian national team.
It’s an explosive meeting. Three-time champion of Serbia as a coach, first champion of Hungary by a large margin. For 45 years old, it’s very cool. Yes, he didn’t succeed at Sampdoria, but I wouldn’t consider that a negative point in his career. The situation was difficult and he took over the team mid-season after a disastrous start.
If I’m not mistaken, there has never been such a successful footballer as a coach in Russia. Even Laudrup earned less. Of course, all this does not guarantee that Stankovych will succeed, but this nomination is a real sensation, ”Cherdantsev wrote on his Telegram channel.
