Double Olympic champion Alexander Kozhevnikov spoke of resignation Mikhail Kravets from the position of head coach of Omsk Avangard.
Avangard announced on Tuesday the termination of the contract with the specialist. Sergei Zvyagin was appointed interim head coach.
— In Avangard, this all started a long time ago, but no one paid attention to it. To be a coach in a team like the current Avangard, you have to be tough, but Kravets is still quite soft,” Kozhevnikov said, as quoted by Legalbet.
Omsk lost to Lokomotiv 0-2 in the second round of the Gagarin Cup, losing both matches at home (2:3 in overtime and 0:7). The third match will take place in Yaroslavl on March 20.
— Before all these events, Avangard was one of my favorites for the Gagarin Cup. In terms of names, they have a very strong team, Omsk has two great teams, all the guys have names. And now it is difficult to talk about the chances of the Omsk team in the series with Lokomotiv. Nobody knows what will happen next. I first said about Kravets’ work that he would become one of the great coaches of the KHL, or nothing would work out for him. For now, we can say that it hasn’t worked. He is a high-quality specialist, but very soft, and at the KHL level you have to be tough,” Kozhevnikov added.
