This is already a coaching question of team management. As long as everything was going smoothly, everything was fine. But as soon as problems started, Pushich has not been coping with this so far.
It's hard to say if he can surprise with anything today. New players need to be invited, the squad needs refreshing. This has not been done since the last championship season.
Another question: is there unity in the club's management? Starting from the general director to the administrators, doctors, masseurs, and so on. Is there unity among them? Maybe someone is pursuing their own goals, but it seems to me that there is no unity that existed in the past season.
I think this is not only about the coaching staff. But this is the law of football: as soon as disagreements begin, it will all come out on the football field,” said Grachev.
