Former Spartak hockey player Nikita Shchitov believes that a foreign specialist will be able to correct the situation in Avangard Omsk.
“Avant-garde” with 20 points, he ranks 10th in the Eastern Conference standings. Earlier, Metaratings.ru reported that the Omsk club reached an agreement with American Todd Reirden on the appointment to the position of head coach of the team.
— I heard that Avangard could be led by an NHL coach. Maybe he will take everything in hand, organize the training process correctly and the team will qualify for the playoffs. Before that, Avangard was run by Bob Hartley and he was performing well. The club thinks it is better to invite a foreign coach. There are good, renowned specialists abroad with experience working in the NHL and with high-level players.
I think a foreign coach can teach good hockey at Avangard. He must correct the situation. Even though anything can happen: a person finds himself in a new environment and in a new team. Let’s see how he gets used to it, whether the club management will help him and who his assistants will be. But I think everything will be fine. Perhaps Avangard consulted with Russian hockey players who played under his leadership and received good recommendations, quotes RB Sport Shchitov.
