MOSCOW, August 22, Vasily Bogdanov.Former Moscow Spartak striker Valery Masalitin said that under Leonid Fedun, there were always scandals and intrigues in the leadership of the capital's football club. On Monday, Lukoil acquired 100% of the club's shares, Fedun resigned as president of Spartak, member and chairman of the board directors.» In almost 20 years of Fedun's stay at the Spartak club, he won the championship, the Cup and the Super Cup of the country. For a peripheral team, this would be great, but, of course, for a capital club, this is very, very little. At the same time, he built a stadium «, a good base, plus there were no financial scandals. From the point of view of infrastructure and money, we must give Fedun his due and thank him. But in terms of sports parameters, there were failures, constant scandals in the leadership, incomprehensible intrigues. All this, of course, affected the team. So in order to assess the period of Fedun's reign, you need to decide which side to do it in. In any case, thanks to him for the time and money that he invested in the «red- White,” said Masalitin. “As for the future of Spartak without Fedun, first we need to see who will now manage the club. It is possible that nationalization will take place altogether, since such rumors have been circulating about Lukoil for a long time. Perhaps Spartak will belong to the state. I would like to see a return to the roots, namely to my own staff. To return the second team, where young guys can get practice and grow, and not scatter to other clubs. Yes, and the current trends should be kept. In any case, the invitation of Guillermo Abascal brought the team a good game and results, the players and fans perked up. Let's see if the new leadership will change all this, «added the source of the agency. Fedun acquired a controlling stake in Spartak in 2004. With him, the Red-Whites won the Russian championship of the 2016/2017 season, the country's Super Cup in 2017, as well as the Russian Cup, on May 29, 2022, defeating Dynamo Moscow in the final.
