St. Petersburg, July 21, Sergey Yaremenko. Deputy General Director of St. Petersburg football club «Zenith» for sports development Andrei Arshavin said in an interview that he was surprised by the results of Alexander Kerzhakov as the head coach of Nizhny Novgorod. «Nizhny Novgorod» under the leadership of Kerzhakov in the debut season in the Russian Premier League (RPL) took 11- e place. In June, Mikhail Galaktionov replaced Kerzhakov at the head of the team. «Kerzhakov left the team in the RPL even without joints. With such and such a composition. It seems to me that his departure is not quite a sporting decision. I thought he would fly out. I even called him during the season: «Kerzh, how do you beat someone else with such corpses?» He never fell into the relegation zone. He always went in 10-12th places. Well done! It was amazing for me,» said Arshavin. «, Kerzhakov is worried about leaving Nizhny Novgorod. Of course, he doesn’t cry for me. We just discussed the situation, he said that he had left, that’s all. But I think he is worried. Kerzh loves football and wants to work. He achieved results in Tom, where everything was not very good before him. He was able to assemble a team. Then he completed the task in Nizhny Novgorod. So far, there are two pluses in his resume, «Arshavin said. Read the full interview with Andrei Arshavin on Thursday on the site rsport.ria.ru.
