Hockey agent Alexander Chernykh said that the management of Kazan “Ak Barsa” considers only one specialist for the position of head coach of the team – Anvara Gatiyatulina .
As previously reported, Gatiyatulin completed an internship at the NHL club Vancouver Canucks, after which he will most likely lead Ak Bars. In March, Zinetula Bilyaletdinov left the Kazan club. At the end of March, the Sibir press service reported that the club had reached an agreement with Gatiyatulin and that the terms were currently under discussion.
— For the moment, we are talking about only one candidate [на пост главного тренера «Ак Барса»]. It’s Anvar Rafailovich [Гатиятулин]. But you know what is happening in Tatarstan. Today they will say they are discussing it, but tomorrow they won’t say it. And that’s it, ”quotes Metaratings.ru.
Gatiyatulin led Traktor from 2015 to 2018, as well as from 2020 to 2023.
