Head coach of Chelyabinsk “Tractors” Alexei Zavarukhin shared his emotions after being confirmed to the position.
On Friday, Traktor defeated Admiral Vladivostok at home with a score of 6:1 in a KHL regular season match.
– I haven’t realized it yet. The appointment is unexpected, as is the appointment to an acting role. Now let’s digest and think about everything. A lot of work. The guys and the staff must continue to work in the same spirit.
— There is a difficult trip ahead (to Moscow for the match against CSKA). Enough emotions?
— If you saw a fragment of the locker room, then I think that’s enough (laughs). I hope that will be enough,” the coach said, as quoted by the club’s press service.
Zavarukhin became the interim head coach of Traktor after Anvar Gatiyatulin resigned from the position in early October. The approval of Zavarukhin as head coach was announced to the team’s hockey players after the match against Admiral by club president and governor of the Chelyabinsk region Alexei Teksler.
