MOSCOW, May 1, Vasily Bogdanov. Former football player of the Moscow » Lokomotiv, Sergey Gurenko wished good luck to the new head coach of the Voronezh Fakel, Vadim Evseev, and noted that his arrival should shake up the team in the last rounds of the Russian Premier League (RPL) season.
On Sunday, Yevseyev left the post of head coach of the Yaroslavl «Shinnik», playing in the First League. On the same day, Fakel announced the departure of Dmitry Pyatibratov, who led the team. On Monday, 47-year-old Evseev was appointed head coach of the Voronezh team.
“Vadik and I played together in Lokomotiv, and he ended his career with me in Zhodino Torpedo. He is a very ambitious person on the good side — he was such a football player and now as a coach. «We need a shake-up at the end of the season, although in the last round he unexpectedly beat Dynamo. I think the leaders know what they are doing. Of course, Evseev is a person with character, just emotions can shake the team. Most likely, this is exactly what is required, since it is impossible to teach football in such terms. Most often, shake-ups are still beneficial. I can only wish Vadim good luck,» Gurenko said.
Fakel after 25 matches is 14th in the standings of the Russian Premier League (RPL), gaining 21 points. In the next round, on May 6, the team will play away with Rostov.
During his playing career, Evseev played for the Moscow «Spartak», «Lokomotiv», as well as the Russian national team. As a coach, he headed «Shinnik», Ivanovo «Tekstilshchik», Perm «Amkar», «SKA-Khabarovsk» and «Ufa».
