- A year ago, you said that you were going to do business at the end of your career. But hockey, they say, is not interesting to you.
- It was a year ago. And now I have got a competent team of managers who can engage in any business. And I better devote myself to my favorite business - and this is hockey.
“You were a cop.” Does this mean that the Tractor will now fight with everyone?
- Nobody is going to force anyone to fight. I will force my players ... no, rather, learn to win matches. If someone needs to fight in order to win the game, please. I will not stop. But he does not intend to force anyone. And it’s stupid to make everyone fight.
- But the team will play in a power style?
- Yes, there will be such an a la North America style.
- Before that, you worked as a general manager. This is better than being a coach. More prestigious work.
“I would not say that.” If you are in the know, then each team has a board of trustees. I know?
- Yes Yes.
- So, he appoints the head coach and director. But the general manager is appointed by the director. So I don’t know who is more important here.
- Not every hockey player can become a head coach.
- I completely agree. My main task is to please Chelyabinsk fans.
- What?
- We will have a fast, fun team that can play with any opponent. And to win.
- And in what league will you play?
- In the Super League.
- So your arena does not comply with the regulations.
- It has already been decided that we will spend the next season in Chelyabinsk. We are building a new palace. And the next year will play in the old arena.
- How are you going to form the composition?
- We will focus on picking on Chelyabinsk players. We will call home our students.
- So you can’t wait for the stars?
- Not. We’ll better beat them on our own.
- Recently, you have been distinguished by very controversial, and sometimes scandalous statements. Are you going to chop the truth-womb and about the super league?
- Not. Well, if I see something wrong, then I will express it to any person. No problem. But I’ll probably say less. Still, now I'm the head coach of the Super League club. Some words cannot be pronounced, because I work in this championship.
- We are simply afraid of losing a person who constantly expresses curious thoughts.
- Do not lose. About the NHL, I will always say everything you need.
All coaching replacements for this offseason
"TRACTOR". Gennady Tsygurov - Andrei Nazarov
Tsygurov, despite the fact that he was offered a new contract, decided not to extend the relationship and left Chelyabinsk.
"VITYAZ". Mike Krushelniski - ???
The club’s general manager, Andrei Zhamnov, denies that Evgeni Popikhin will be the head coach. But Mike Krushelniski will not remain in the team. They say he failed to understand Russian hockey. In Chekhov it is really impossible to understand.
SKA. Yuri Leonov - ???
They are looking for a specialist who knows how to work with stars. Leonov does not have the necessary experience.
HC MVD. Nikolay Soloviev - Andrey Khomutov.
The result of the teams led by Solovyov, the leadership considered unconvincing.
"PETROCHEMISM". Ayrat Kadeikin - Gennady Tsygurov
It would be surprising if Kadeikin remained as head coach. He is simply not ready to work independently with the club.
"CHEMIST". Peter Vorobyov - ???
Vorobyev left before the end of the season, and Sergei Borisov, who replaced him, was not considered as a permanent coach. Looking for an experienced specialist. Options: Vladimir Yurzinov Sr. or Marek Sikora.
"LOCOMOTIVE". Paul Gardner - ???
They say that they expected medals from the Canadian coach.
Alexey Shevchenko
