Former head coach “Avant-garde” Mikhail Kravets in an interview with he said Omsk probably should have appointed earlier Sergei Zvyagin since the club sees prospects with this specialist.
On March 19, Avangard announced the termination of the contract with Kravets, Zvyagin was appointed on an interim basis. On April 1, he managed the team on a permanent basis, the contract runs until the end of the 2025/26 season.
— Were you surprised that Avangard offered Zvyagin a two-year contract?
— The club lost the second round series. And a year ago we reached the third round, where we lost to Ak Bars. And after the bronze medals, they didn’t even want to take me. Am I surprised now or not? Think about it.
This is Avangard’s right. This means that they trust Zviagin. Or today there is faith, but tomorrow there is no faith, depending on the season. If they give you a contract, it means they see a future in this coach. Maybe it’s just that he should have been appointed in September? Since such a diamond was in their locker room and they didn’t give him a chance,” Kravets told .
Avangard finished their performance in the Gagarin Cup this season, losing in the second round to Yaroslavl Lokomotiv with a score of 3–4.
