“In general, we have rather mixed feelings. Tikhonov was quite an important part of the team. His attitude towards the matter won respect. Based on this, we assume that the decision to end his career was not his initiative. Most likely, an outside addition intervened.
However, there is now a matter of contract. If a player decides to stop playing with a valid contract in hand and without paying compensation, then it’s wrong,” a source told the club.
Viktor Tikhonov’s contract with Salavat Yulaev runs until 2023.
