The situation with Agalarov influenced the dismissal of Talalaev from Akhmat, Gadzhiev believes

Football coach Gadzhi Gadzhiev said that he was not surprised by the dismissal of Andrei Talalaev from the post of head coach of Akhmat.

Akhmat officially announced the dismissal of Talalaev on Sunday. On Saturday, the Grozny club hosted PARI NN at home. The meeting ended with the victory of the guests with a score of 3:1. The best scorer of the last RPL season, Hamid Agalarov, moved to Akhmat in the offseason. This season, he took part in 6 matches (scored 1 goal), but in the starting lineup he appeared in only one game.

“I can’t say it came as a surprise to me. Frankly, I didn’t think about it. Although there were separate stages when Talalaev worked well.

– Was Talalaev’s resignation well-deserved?

– I can not say that it is well-deserved. But something was building up inside. The situation with the forwards affected. Talalaev said that he needed Agalarov, but the result was an incomprehensible situation. If you didn’t have to pay money for it at all, there would be a different conversation. The club has a question, why did we spend money on a striker who does not play? I think it played a role. The last result of the team, of course, also influenced. The emotional component was essential in this parting.

– Is it difficult for a coach to work in Grozny? Does Akhmat’s leadership require much?

– It is difficult for a coach to work everywhere. Basically, these are strict requirements and a small amount of authority. In the same “Zenith” mentor is always under pressure. They always fight for the first place. When Semak was appointed after the foreigners, there was also pressure. Where to just work? In CSKA or Dynamo? In “Ural”, they say, it’s also not easy to work.

The mentality in Grozny is still different. There, differences are most clearly visible in comparison with other subjects. This is mainly related to issues of everyday life. But the professional component is the same, – Gadzhiev is quoted by Sport Day by Day.

Talalaev has headed Akhmat since the summer of 2020. The Grozny club is in 9th place in the RPL table with 11 points.
