Former goalkeeper of Lokomotiv Ruslan Nigmatullin commented on the dismissal of the club’s sporting director Thomas Zorn.
“When Zorn first came to Lokomotiv, I immediately said: it won’t last long. Zorn didn’t change anything in his concept of him: he abruptly started redeploying the team. The concept is to make as many transfers as possible. It doesn’t matter if it’s boosted or not. I understand the story when an agent gets a management position – in this case, he’s jailed for making transfers, because that’s a deal. I’m sorry that Zorn didn’t draw conclusions after working at Spartak. The task of making quick transfers at close range led to the fact that he did not work for either Spartak or Lokomotiv for long. I think he will now wait for the same opportunity to “prove himself”. One thing is gratifying that the conclusions are nevertheless followed, “ Nigmatullino said.
