Headed the Moscow region “Knight » Dmitry Ryabykin has extensive experience, including championship experience, the world champion told Maxime Sushinski .
On Sunday, Vityaz announced the appointment of Ryabykin as the team’s head coach. The contract with the 47-year-old specialist runs until the end of the current season. Vityaz started the season under the leadership of Alexander Zavyalov, who resigned on October 3 after a defeat to CSKA (1:9).
Last season, Ryabykin led Avangard, but was fired on October 10, 2022. After that, he worked as an assistant to Ilya Vorobyov at Metallurg and left the team on February 4.
— I can only congratulate Dmitry on his appointment. Ryabykin is a professional coach, he worked for Avangard for a long time, he has a lot of experience, including championship experience. I have barely seen Vityaz this season, so I cannot say what can be achieved with this team.
— Was the experience of working with Bob Hartley decisive in Ryabykin’s career?
— Dmitry didn’t only work with Bob. Overall, all experience is useful.
— At the same time, he didn’t really succeed in Avangard and Magnitogorsk.
— I wouldn’t say it didn’t work at Avangard. Ryabykin simply did not have time. They sent me on a 10-game road trip and then fired me. This is wrong,” Sushinsky told .
Vityaz occupies the last place in the Western Conference standings with 9 points.
