Andrei SenchenkoSport correspondentAll materialsEmail to the authorPaolo Vanoli supported the trend and left Russia. The adventures of the Italian in Spartak turned out to be short-lived. The era of Paolo Vanoli is everything. The first rumors about the possible departure of the Italian from Spartak have been spreading since the beginning of the mass exodus of foreign players and coaches from Russia, and with the end of the season they began to exaggerate with renewed vigor. Each time, the Red-Whites issued denials, and Vanoli himself argued that politics is not a lever for refusing to work in Moscow. But now the talks have gained weight — the coach officially terminated the contract with the club. Champion coach or ordinary populist? Vanoli spent six months in Spartak. The red-and-whites spent a full-fledged winter training camp under the leadership of the Italian, failed loudly in the national championship, repeating their worst result in the Premier League in the entire Russian history, but made amends to the fans with a beautiful triumph in the Russian Cup. Spartak is still celebrating the victory over Dynamo in the final of the tournament. However, it is not clear whether Vanoli can be called its main creator. In recent years, the club has not had a coach who would leave an undeniable and categorical impression of himself. With any results, the specialists who worked in Spartak are always spoken through the union «but». Vanoli is no exception. On the one hand, Paolo wrote his name in red and white history as a champion coach. Even his methods of work are evaluated positively. On the other hand, we have not seen any frank progress in the game of Spartak. Probably, for such a short period of time, they should not have been expected. What would be «Spartacus» Vanoli in the future, one can only guess. Perhaps the team would never have come to anything good. And in this there is a considerable fault of Paolo himself. What did he leave behind? With the exception of the Russian Cup, nothing but loud statements and pretentious behavior in public.
Paolo VanoliLiterally every match of Spartak «Vanoli can be disassembled into separate highlights, in which he constantly yells at the judges and even just into the air, spectacularly throws bottles of water and rushes along the curb as if stung. At times, the Italian looked more like an actor than a coach. «Emotions are part of the game! It's good that the coach is so worried about the result of his team,» you say. You can't argue with this opinion. But if we compare Vanoli's behavior with Massimo Carrera and Domenico Tedesco close to him in spirit, then there was noticeably less sincerity in Paolo's manners. You can't fool a patient. Well, we have already heard the words about the spirit of the winners from Oleg Kononov.
