Athletistic / Hockey. Legendary Soviet and Russian hockey player Alexander Mogilny spoke about CSKA’s failure in the current KHL season. In addition, he commented on the departure of Sergei Fedorov from the post of head coach of the military team.
“It seems to me that the army team is tired. Winning the Gagarin Cup two years in a row is not so easy. Somewhere, perhaps, it was necessary to renew the blood a little, let in more young people But from the outside it’s difficult to tell.
It seems to me that CSKA’s goalkeeper line didn’t help either. And he’s a key part of the team – and even more so in the playoffs.
CSKA recently hired a new coach. Management has the right to do this because the team has not completed the tasks. For a club like CSKA, the management will not be satisfied with similar results. Unfortunately, someone had to leave their position. It turns out that Sergei Viktorovich did it…
It seems to me that Fedorov did everything he could. I think it’s not 100% Sergei’s fault. That’s for sure. But something had to be done – and they did what they did,” Mogilny was quoted as saying by the Championship.
CSKA finished the KHL regular season in sixth place in the Western Conference standings. In the first round of the playoffs, the army team lost to Yaroslavl Lokomotiv with a score of 1-4 in the series. After that, the appointment of Ilya Vorobyov as head coach of the red and blue was announced.
