Sergei FuchsCorrespondent SportAll materialsWhat is happening in the Moscow “Locomotive” has ceased to cause even the slightest surprise. What the club has not experienced over the past two years — the war of the former general director Vasily Kiknadze with the fans, the strange resignations of Yuri Semin and Marko Nikolic, a short trip to Moscow by the eminent Ralph Rangnik and huge spending on youth … Against this background, the unsuccessful start of the new season seems to be something everyday. But the dismissal of Marvin Compper cannot be called an ordinary event. This is the first sign of possible next global shifts in Loko. Kompper appeared in Cherkizovo less than a year ago, initially the Lokomotiv management had special plans for a young specialist. Yes, Marvin has a fairly rich playing baggage (Borussia (Mönchengladbach), Hoffenheim, Fiorentina, Leipzig, Celtic and Duisburg), but it was not very clear what the 36-year-old could give the railroad (at that time) the ex-defender is here and now, because he actually had no coaching experience. Short-term work as an assistant coach in the «Duisburg», a guest of the third Bundesliga, can be ignored in this case.
