Ex-Traktor trainer Ravil Gusmanov commented on the nomination Anvara Gatiyatulina for the position of head coach “Ak Barsa” noting that the specialist still had the opportunity to prove himself.
Earlier, Ak Bars announced the appointment of Gatiyatulin to the position of head coach, the contract with him is for two years. Before that, the specialist headed Traktor, but was fired last season.
— Anvar Gatiyatulin, who headed Ak Bars, also returned to the KHL.
— We are on good terms with Ilya Vorobyov and Anvar Rafailovich, we constantly communicate and exchange opinions and ideas. We talk about both professional and everyday issues. I am happy that Gatiyatulin will have a chance to prove itself again.
— Will there be pressure on Gatiyatulin in Kazan?
“There is pressure everywhere, the coaches are always under scrutiny – and we are ready for criticism. There will be both satisfied and dissatisfied people. Anvar Rafailovich knows all this,” Gusmanov said, as quoted by RB Sport.
In the 2023/24 season, Ak Bars, under the leadership of Zinetula Bilyaletdinov, lost to Avtomobilist in the first round of the playoffs – 1-4.
