MOSCOW, July 20 Coach of Metallurg Magnitogorsk Andrey Razin stated that an invitation to the charity “Match of the Year” is more valuable than recognition as the best coach of the Continental Hockey League (KHL).
The match between the teams of Russian stars of the National Hockey League (NHL) and the KHL will take place on Saturday in Moscow. Razin, together with Igor Nikitin, will coach the KHL all-star team. The coaching staff of NHL stars will consist of Igor Larionov, Alexey Zhamnov and Ilya Zubov.
““There was a call from Mikhail Sergachev, a very unexpected invitation. Such recognition is worth a lot, it is even more important than receiving a prize for the best coach of the KHL,” the press service of the match organizers quotes Razin.
Razin was recognized as the best coach of the 2023/24 KHL season. Under his leadership, Metallurg won the Gagarin Cup.
