Honored coach of Russia Peter Vorobiev told that his son Ilya Vorobyov as head coach CSKA It will be important to choose the right assistants.
On March 27, CSKA announced the appointment of Vorobyov as the team’s head coach starting from the 2024/25 season. The specialist will replace Sergei Fedorov, winner of two Gagarin Cups with the club. The military team’s agreement with Fedorov expires on April 30, 2024.
— Pyotr Ilyich, after the 2004/05 season you could have led CSKA, but it didn’t work out. Can you tell us this story?
“It was so long ago that everything has already been erased from memory.” There were indeed conversations, some movements between me and CSKA at the time, but nothing more.
— Almost 20 years later, your son headed CSKA. Can it be called fate that a member of the Vorobyov family ultimately headed the military club?
“Ilya not only followed in my footsteps, he surpassed me. Ilya won trophies much younger than me at the time. He was the coach of the Russian national team, but I never managed to hold such a position. Ilya surpassed me in many areas.
— Did Ilya consult you when he received an offer from CSKA?
– No, I did not consult. This used to be the case, but now everything goes through agents who research work options and offer them to their clients.
The last time we called each other was when Ilya congratulated his mother on her birthday. I then asked him about work, he said, “Just talk for now.” »
— What is the most important advice you will give him?
“It is very important for him now to choose the right assistants.” There is a Jewish wisdom that says: “A person should be three times lucky in life: from whom he is born, from whom he learns and with whom he marries. » I didn’t exactly follow the advice, but I was lucky to have followed all of these steps correctly and clearly. My family has helped me in many situations, including when I had to end my professional hockey career. So it is important for Ilya to gather around the appropriate assistants who will help him in difficult situations,” Pyotr Vorobyov told .
Ilya Vorobyov won two Gagarin Cups with Metallurg Magnitogorsk – as a senior and head coach. The specialist also led the Russian national team and SKA St. Petersburg.
This season, CSKA took sixth place according to the results of the regular Fonbet KHL championship and lost in the first round of the playoffs to Lokomotiv Yaroslavl with a score of 1-4 in the series.
