General Director of Tolyatti “Lada” Alexander Chebotarev in an interview with said that the acting head coach of the team Pavel Zubov may receive a permanent position, but this will depend on the results and the decision of the future management of the club.
In November, the Togliatti club announced the departure of head coach Oleg Bratash. Zubov was named interim head coach. Earlier, Chebotarev told that he would leave Lada.
— The question of the new head coach, if I understand correctly, will already be located in the plan of the new general director?
– RIGHT. Although the team was coached on an interim basis by Pavel Zubov, his candidacy was agreed with the management and everyone was happy with it. Everything else will be the responsibility of the new general director and the supervisory board, which operates in the club in accordance with the charter.
— Are there any options in which Zubov would be confirmed as head coach?
– Certainly. The result is the main criterion for evaluating the work of a coach. Despite the fact that Pavel Vladimirovich was part of the coaching team of Oleg Vladimirovich Bratash, he has his own vision of hockey, with him the training process and the requirements of the players change. It takes time to bring your ideas to life and the team must get used to the new requirements. This explains our recent defeats.
I think that as soon as everything improves and the results appear, no one will insist on changing the head coach, because the main thing we are working for is the result. It is important that Zubov graduated from Togliatti hockey, he is a fairly young coach who has some experience in the profession. His work will definitely be seen.
From what I see now, the person is completely immersed in their work and dedicated to it. I see a response from the team regarding Zubov. “I always look at things with optimism and I am sure that everything will turn out well,” Chebotarev told .
Lada occupies ninth place in the Eastern Conference standings with 25 points.
