Khimki announced the appointment of a new head coach, ex-coach of Alania Spartak Gogniev.

The press service of the Moscow Region club announced that the agreement with the specialist is calculated until the end of the 2023/24 season with “the possibility of extension”.

— I thank the management of the club for the trust and the opportunity to work in the Premier League. Our coaching staff is ambitious and wants to play interesting football. Now Khimki is starting a new chapter. I have big tasks as a coach, and I know that the team has too. I want each player to become stronger individually. I see a huge potential in the team and a great desire for the guys to play. A good team has gathered in Khimki, I know many of them personally, and I still have to get to know many of them.

My main ideology is to play attacking, so that we dominate: we will move the ball away from our goal and play the ball in someone else’s half of the field. Ahead is a flight to Orenburg, where we will fight only for victory, ”the press service of the club quoted Gogniyev as saying.

Khimki is 11th in the RPL WORLD standings with 7 points in seven games. Gogniev is the third head coach of the team this season after Sergei Yuran and Nikolai Pisarev.
