Evgeny Krasnikov resigned as sports director SC Dnepr-1. The functionary said that he would return to metalworker.
“Last year, I accepted the offer of the leadership of Dnipro-1 to take over the selection policy of the club and form a coaching staff. After Igor Jovichevich and seven players of the main squad left the team, I believe that we managed to form a combat-ready team that fought to the last for victory in the championship, made it to the spring stage of European cups, ”Krasnikov said in a conversation with Igor Tsyganyk.
“If I managed to win the championship, I would consider the season successful for myself. At the moment, there is a team left in Dnipro that is ready to fight for the championship this season as well.”
“At the end of the season, I thought about this decision for a long time, but I consider it absolutely right, because I cannot give more than I have given Dnepr-1 to date. And so I turned to the general director Andrei Rusol with a request to dismiss me from the post of sports director. I think that at the moment there are enough specialists in the club who will be able to raise the team to a qualitatively new level.”
