MOSCOW, 28 Jun. Sports journalist Vasily Utkin admitted that it was amusing for him to watch the statements of the veterans of the Moscow Spartak on the appointment of Guillermo Abascal as the head coach of the Red-Whites. On June 9, Spartak announced his resignation from the post of head coach of the Italian Paolo Vanoli, under whose leadership the team won the Russian Cup. The next day, the club was headed by the 33-year-old Abascal, who previously coached the Swiss «Basel».
" traditionally poison a stranger. We are already used to it. It would even be strange if none of them said anything about this. And what do you, my friends, have besides a name? And the name is a merit that fixes the past. While Abascal himself is behaving funny. I was touched by how he asked the players not to swear", Utkin said in a video posted on his YouTube channel.
In the first round of the new season of the Russian Premier League, Spartak will play away with Akhmat Grozny . The meeting will take place on July 16.
