Nizhny Novgorod goalkeeping coach “Torpedo” Nikolai Khabibulin said that right now he doesn’t see himself as the head coach of a team.
– Looking at Igor Larionov, have you ever thought about trying your hand at being a head coach one day?
– I think not. It requires a certain character. It’s more comfortable for me to have a small group, for example a goalkeeper, and to talk more about what I know well. Yes, I played hockey, I know a lot, but I can’t say it yet: they say, give me a team, I’ll build a training process. While it’s a dark forest to me.
– So you hadn’t planned to work as a goalkeeper coach…
– I hadn’t planned, honestly (smiles). But here I work and I like it.
– Can a goalkeeper become a good head coach?
– Why not? – quotes the words of Khabibulin “Rossiyskaya Gazeta”.
