Athletistic / Football. Kazakhstan national team head coach Stanislav Cherchesov said that he is now, to some extent, a fan of St. Petersburg Zenit. The 60-year-old Russian is a legend and former coach of Spartak Moscow.
“My comrade Bogdanich (Sergei Semak) now works at Zenit. Note Athletistic), he is doing a great job. Last year we corresponded often, even more often than usual. At that time I saw that it was not so easy for him. At Ferencváros I experienced it myself: when you are champion for the fifth time, everything gets used to it. It seems that you do your job the same way, but the environment behaves as if everything should naturally be as it should be. But nothing happens by itself!
That is why that year, to some extent, I became a fan of Zenit. Let me note: to some extent! ” Cherchesov said in a broadcast on the Russian football YouTube channel.
As a member of Spartak Moscow, Cherchesov became a two-time USSR champion and twice won the Russian championship. As a coach, he led the red and white team to silver medals in the 2007 RPL season.
