CEO “Siberia” Kirill Fastovsky commented on the dismissal David Nemirovsky as head coach of the team.
The 47-year-old Canadian specialist was dismissed “due to unsatisfactory team results.” Named interim head coach Sergei Krivokrasov .
— The Sibir games themselves were not very convincing. Even in winning games, the team didn’t look like we wanted. We communicated with the coaches several times and discussed various issues. We have now reached the point where the question of making the playoffs has become acute. I don’t look at the rankings for the first part of the season at all. It does not matter. Initially, the current home series was not essential, but extremely important. We discussed it with the coaches, we set certain accents, but nothing changed from one match to the next.
During the season, various points were revealed, one might say, errors that needed to be corrected. Game discipline has become essential for us. There are too many unforced departures, particularly in the attack zone, which is totally unacceptable. These are not isolated cases, but rather an unpleasant trend for us. Even though the outs didn’t result in goals against us, it was still acceptable, but then we started scoring shorthanded goals. It had to happen at some point. Then come nervousness and contractions. There was no solidity in the team’s play. In bursts, the game acquires the character we need, but then we lose sight of this line, try to find it again, and so on in a circle,” Fastovsky said, as quoted by Sport24.
After 40 matches, the Novosibirsk club is eighth in the Eastern Conference standings, with 41 points.
