MOSCOW, 10 Mar. Valery Karpin returned to the post of head coach of the Rostov football club, according to the club's website. He will combine this post with the position of head coach of the Russian national team. Karpin headed Rostov from 2017 to 2021, after which he left the club for the Russian national team. On Thursday, the Russian Football Union agreed to combine work in the national team and Rostov. «The Russian national team is a team that fans of all clubs in the country, including ours, are worried about. I have already said that we could not let Valery Georgievich go to the national team «, because we value its interests above club ones. Therefore, we have now agreed with the Russian Football Union that Karpin's combination of posts in the national team and in the club can be terminated as soon as the Russian national team returns the right to participate in international competitions. I am glad to welcome Georgievich to as head coach of Rostov and I hope for the much-needed victories of our team today under his leadership,» said Artashes Arutyunyants, President of Rostov. Rostov is in 14th place in the Russian Championship table. Under the leadership of Karpin, the club became fifth in the RPL and reached the semifinals of the Russian Cup.
