Famous football manager Alexander Manyakov explained why Spartak Moscow opted for a defender Michele Mevle.
I know for a fact that Spartak had a shortlist of three candidates for the position of central defender. As a result, the choice stopped at Mevle. He is well known in Russia, he has adapted to our championship. Under these conditions, this is a good option – they took an inexpensive footballer. In winter, when the situation in the management stabilizes, we can already expect transfers of a different quality.
The club was limited in finances, due to the transfer of Spartak to a new shareholder. Even if it is not clear who exactly approves the transfer budget. Previously, under Fedun, it was possible to go beyond the initially promised amount if an attractive option presented itself. It is now more difficult with this, so the bureaucratic delay has not allowed us to hire a player of higher status for this position. The last word in the transition phases of the management during the away phase remains with Abaskal, who has already managed to establish himself at Spartak.
