Former Russian hockey player Maxim Kuznetsov said SKA St. Petersburg provided the head coach Romain Rotenberg some carte blanche.
On Friday, SKA announced the conclusion of a new contract with a 42-year-old specialist for a period of five years.
– Did such confidence in Rotenberg surprise you?
– No, I was not surprised.
– The probability of resignation has become less with such a long contract?
– It seems to me that if Rotenberg himself does not want to, he will not leave. How will he be fired? You must fail completely. With this formation, you must win the Gagarin Cup. Not next year, but in a year or two they should win. New arena – God himself ordained it.
– Can we say that SKA gave Rotenberg a certain carte blanche with such a contract?
– Yes. They have a certain strategic development orientation. To avoid forcing, work calmly. When a person has a contract, he is calm about the future, works systematically. It is clear that not without errors, but everything is fixable, ”Kuznetsov quotes “Sport day by day”.
Rotenberg took charge of SKA in January 2022. Last season, under his leadership, the St. Petersburg team was beaten by CSKA in the Western Conference final – 2-4.
