Deputy Svishchev on the possible departure of Karpin from the Russian national team: throwing the team is not like a man , tourism and youth affairs Dmitry Svishchev commented on the words of the head coach of the Russian national football team Valery Karpin about the possible departure from the team. He is quoted by Sport24.
“These words show his emotions and experiences. Throwing a team in this situation is not like a man. It would be incorrect to part with the team halfway through, ”the deputy said. In his opinion, Karpin will bring the matter to the end, and the team players will correctly perceive the coach's words. Svishchev stressed that Karpin is currently the best candidate to work with the Russian national team.
On November 15, Karpin admitted that he could leave the Russian national team before the play-off matches for the 2022 World Cup. He noted that he needs a week to decide on the future.
The Russian national team lost to Croatia in the final match of the 2022 World Cup qualifying tournament with a score of 0: 1. The team missed out on the leadership in the group and will make their way to the world championship through play-offs.
Karpin became the leader of the Russian national team in July this year. The agreement with a specialist is calculated until the end of December.
