less than a week after the resignation of general director of “Spartacus” by Sergey Shavlo, on Friday left the club and the team coach Stanislav Cherchesov. Down-the-line.com attempt to evaluate the performance of the head coach of the red and white during his time coaching at the bridge.

After the shameful defeat

of Kiev “Dynamo” in the first match of the third qualifying round of the Champions League leadership of “Spartacus” sacked coach Stanislav Cherchesova. The official website of the red and white this decision due to “poor sporting results”. To say that this development was unexpected, it is impossible. After the crushing defeat of CSKA Moscow and Kiev “Dynamo”, with an interval of more than a month, the coaches usually put their powers voluntarily. However, after the recent match Cherchesov Luzhniki held a different view. “Decent people should take a punch in such cases,” – he said at the postgame news conference. But his fate was already sealed.

Let's remember the last year of Cherchesova in “Spartacus.” Red-White missed the championship of their own hands, giving the right to control the situation Petersburg “Zenith”, could not get through the group stage of the Champions League, finally flew out of the UEFA Cup at the stage of 1 / 16, yielding to the French “Marseille.” This year the situation is even worse – including victories over strong clubs can be noted that unless a successful visit to Kazan for “Ruby”, ending a major victory for Muscovites 3-0. That's all. Victory over the “Tomyu,” “Ray,” “Shinnik”, “Spartak” Nalchik and “Saturn” can hardly be called ambitious. Key meetings with the Moscow “Dynamo” and CSKA Kiev “Dynamo” was played, and in matches with the “locomotive” and “Zenith” red-white legs barely carried away from rivals, having played with them in a draw.

Last

“Spartacus” showed a decent level of football a year ago – in the games against Scotland, “Celtic” for the right to play in the Champions League group stage, when the turned Vladimir Fedotov has not yet been finally broken, and ruined. With a huge credibility of leadership, Cherchesov directly and stubbornly continued to pursue its own policy, understandable only to him. In his possession was all: Full Pre-training, a physical training coach Tony Beretski, and, most importantly, complete freedom of Transfer. However, the start of the Russian championship has shown that the current state of “Spartacus”, to put it mildly, leaves much to be desired. And if the level of his opponents, “Ray” and “Khimki” individual skill players enough to draw a stronger team, supported by the presence of minimal coaching thoughts were “Spartacus” is too tough.

Foreboding for Stanislaus Cherchesova was the appointment of Director General of “Spartacus” Valery Karpin, who immediately declared firmly that the nine-champions of Russia should not only score points, but also to show in this beautiful game. Football functionary gave the example of Madrid “Real”, which before last season, led by renowned expert Fabio Capello. Under his leadership, the “Real” has become a champion, but a game with an eye on defense did not suit demanding the Madrid crowd, and the Italian was sacked. In Cherchesova with the production of the game for a year of work in “Spartacus” and just had a big problem. The team could not tune in spectacular football, and most of its goals to grind down the standards by going to the game in a pure striker and three supporting midfielders.

Valery Karpin before his appointment had firsthand look at the match “Spartak” against the “Locomotive” (2:2), when the red and white until the 75th minute showed obscure football. But by becoming CEO – two games: against “Khimki” in which red and white missed victory against Kiev “Dynamo”. It was a humiliating defeat from Kiev (1:4) seems to have barred the “Spartacus” out of Champions League group stage, it was for Stanislaus Cherchesova fatal.

Not reach the main draw of the main European club tournament was one of the main goals for the season to Cherchesova as budget revenues, “Spartacus” at the season partly filled with funds received from participation in the Champions League. However, after the first time that “Spartacus” Dinamo lost 1-2, according to some estimates, between Valery Karpin and Leonid Fedun, being in the moment on vacation in Spain, had a telephone conversation in which a young CEO rigidly posed the question of resignation Stanislaus Cherchesova. After the game, which is for “Spartacus” was completed the rout – 1:4, Karpin was released to fans and promised that soon the team expect big changes. A day later, the official website of “Spartacus,” it was reported that Stanislav Cherchesov leaves office …

But not without casualties. Determined decision Cherchesov removed from the team of club legend Egor Titov and no less committed to the “Spartacus” Maxim Kalinichenko. Cherchesova activity is, unfortunately, quite unambiguous emotions. No creative work was not done – after a Cherchesov did not leave any positive emotion.

Acting head coach before signing a contract with a new coach is a specialist back-up of Igor Ledyakh, but to help him – an assistant Stanislaus Cherchesova Sergei Rodionov. They will prepare the team for Sunday's away match against “Amkar”. Valery Karpin has expressed confidence that Ledyakh Rodionov and cope with their responsibilities: “The club has full confidence in them. I think they still might even surprise everyone”.

New head coach is not yet known, but they almost certainly will be a foreign specialist. While most are called different names: Louis Van Gal, Michael Laudrup, Victor Munoz, Victor Fernandez? Javier Irureta.
