— Bilyaletdinov’s resignation was expected. That year they lit a fire, staged it and Ak Bars reached the final. Management was probably very tempted to leave him. And it was not said, it stopped one step from the end. But at that age, you can’t work as a coach. Restructuring Ak Bars next season? “Everything will depend on who the head coach is,” Weisfeld said on the show “All in for the game!” on the channel.
Ak Bars, under the leadership of Bilyaletdinov, became three times winner of the Gagarin Cup. The specialist also led the Russian team to victory at the 2012 World Championships.
