Double winner of the Gagarin Cup Sergei Konkov explained the management decision “Motorist” extend the contract with the head coach of the team Nikolai Zavarukhin .
On Friday, residents of Yekaterinburg announced the extension of the agreement with Zavarukhin. The contract with the specialist runs until the end of May 2026. The previous one was valid until the end of the 2024/25 season.
— The team demonstrated results. There is an understanding of how the game can be strengthened. I think Yekaterinburg had a great season. They have always loved hockey, and when a team posts its best result in KHL history, there is a desire to improve. We need to look at the transfer market to see who can strengthen the team. That’s a task for the offseason. Maybe there are already agreements with the players,” Konkov said, as quoted by RB Sport.
Avtomobilist took fifth place in the Eastern Conference last season and for the first time in the club’s history reached the semi-finals of the KHL playoffs, where they lost to the future winner of the Cup Gagarin, Metallurg Magnitogorsk (3-4).
