St. Petersburg, June 10, Taras Barabash. International Olympic Committee (IOC) member Shamil Tarpishchev said that regarding appointments to the post of head coach at the Moscow football club Spartak, one should first of all listen to the opinion of Oleg Romantsev, who has led the team for 12 years. On Friday, Spartak announced the appointment of 33-year-old Spaniard Guillermo Abascal as head coach. In this position, he replaced the Italian Paolo Vanoli, under whose leadership the club won the Russian Cup last season, and took 10th place in the national championship. «Unfortunately, they often choose a coach not for professionalism, but for photography. — Who cares! I don't understand this. There is no professionalism if people do not have physical education and understanding of what they are doing. Now is the ideal situation for football to create such a system when we will have our own. And we again miss this opportunity. We must obey Romantsev, hear what he says. He invested his life in Spartak, his words must be heeded about who should work, «Tarpishchev said.
