Adiev said it was not difficult for him to refuse work as the head coach of Akhmat

The head coach of the Kazakhstan national team, Magomed Adiev, said that it was not difficult for him to refuse the Grozny Akhmat, where he was invited after the resignation of Andrei Talalaev.

Talalaev left Akhmat on 11 September. Later, the team from Grozny was headed by Sergei Tashuev. The contract with him was signed until the summer of 2023.

Let’s dive into the past a little. Every time a coach is removed from Akhmat, my name comes up. It will always be, because we are not outsiders with this club, but, one might say, relatives. Therefore, our cooperation will always be interesting for both me and Akhmat. It’s just that there are a number of things that you can’t just drop, turn around and leave. Once again, it so happened that our time together with Akhmat did not come. Let’s see what will happen in the future.

Was it hard to refuse Akhmat? Maybe it’s a matter of age, but nothing is hard for me anymore. I take the situation as it is. It is important for me to go straight through my life and coaching path. There are always nuances, and it’s impossible to be good to everyone. But I must be honest with the Almighty and with myself – for me this is the main criterion. Difficulties do not arise when you need to say “yes” or “no” to someone. I think it’s the right thing to do at this stage. We are constantly in touch with the sports director, we talk about many things. I know that they sincerely worry about me and wish me good luck, I also worry about Akhmat. And friendly dialogues continue,” Adiev told the “Championship”.

Adiev was appointed head coach of the Kazakhstan national football team on April 27, 2022.
