Double winner of the Gagarin Cup Alexey Potapov believes that the leaders of Omsk “Avant-garde” I shouldn’t send Sergei Zvyagin resigned as head coach of the team.
Earlier, learned that American coach Todd Reirden had refused to lead the Avangard.
— Who do you think is the ideal coach for Avangard?
– He is a man who keeps everything under control. In no case does he interfere with the work of others, including management, but he cooperates, communicates and everyone comes to a common denominator. And at the same time he does not allow any interference in his work. He is a professional, he is a person who pays attention to nuances and who wants to win.
— Which of the coaches fits this description?
— Currently, it is difficult to consider candidates among Russians, if we look at the free agent market. You shouldn’t trade a punch for soap. It is therefore better to let Sergei Zvyagin work. You can only trade for a person who can bring something to the table, who has been working for a long time and is ready to come from abroad with a good story, with good reviews among hockey players. But I can’t name a specific name,” Potapov said, as quoted by RB Sport.
The Omsk club with 22 points ranks 10th in the KHL Eastern Conference standings.
