I don’t understand why we need foreign coaches if we have enough of our own. I think Zavarov would gladly agree to train someone. Yes, and we have young specialists: the same Immortal, Frost. Thank God, Grigorchuk returned here. I consider him a qualified coach, and he proved it with his work.
It seems that it’s easy to pay your own people, especially when there are delays in some clubs. With foreigners, you can’t really take a walk anymore, ”Leonenko said.
