MOSCOW, Sep 26, Vasily Bogdanov. Former president of Spartak Moscow Andrey Chervichenko said that the first decisions of the new leadership of the football club look like the worst mistakes of Leonid Fedun. On Monday, Spartak announced the appointment of Paul Ashworth, an Englishman, to the post of sports director. Earlier, Lukoil acquired 100% of Spartak's shares. Leonid Fedun, who owned the club since 2004, resigned as president, member and chairman of the board of directors. In July, the Italian Luca Cattani left the post of sports director of Spartak. “I look at what is happening with tension. Apart from Alexander Matytsyn, I don’t really know anyone there. The sports director was, to put it mildly, very surprised. I can only explain this by the fact that there are plans to sell the club to foreign investors, about which there were a lot of rumors. But in the current realities, it’s hard to believe in it. As for Ashworth, this is a real Russophobe Ask Matthias Normann, if he agrees, how this rogue dissuaded him from moving to Rostov, what fairy tales he told about Russia. who worked in the federation or somewhere else,» Chervichenko said. «I can believe that the transfer budget will indeed be increased. But the first one to benefit from this t, — Ashworth. And then everything will be according to the usual scheme. It is surprising that now it has become difficult to import legionnaires, and a foreigner is put in the position of sports director. I think this is a slap in the face to the entire Russian society. So far, the first steps of the new leadership look like the worst mistakes under Leonid Fedun,» the source added.
