Head coach of the Kazakhstan national hockey team Galym Mambetaliev declared that the resignation of “Barysa” was a surprise to him.
The departure of the specialist from the Astana club was announced on Tuesday. Oleg Bolyakin, who in recent months served as general director of Barys, became the new interim head coach.
— Barys’ resignation was a surprise to me. I worked there as interim head coach. It’s time to change something, there is no such thing here. All national team players play for Barys and Nomad. They must be prepared,” quotes RB Sport Mambetaliev.
Barys finishes the KHL Eastern Conference standings with 31 points after 40 games.
