Former director of the Lokomotiv Academy Kuzmichev: “Nagornykh is a very competent and thoughtful specialist”

The ex-director of the Lokomotiv Academy, Vladimir Kuzmichev, called the departure of Alexander Plutnik from Lokomotiv the right decision and supported the appointment of Yuri Nagornykh as chairman of the board of directors of the Moscow club.

The day before, Plutnik decided to resign as chairman and leave the board of directors. By decision of the board of directors of Lokomotiv, the director of Russian Railways for communications, Nagornykh, was elected its chairman.

– Lokomotiv officially announced the appointment of Nagorny, Plutnik left the club. You worked with Nagorny, tell us what kind of leader he is, what should the fans of the club hope for?

– The departure of Plutnik is the right and right decision. During my work at Lokomotiv, Yuri Dmitrievich Nagornykh and I crossed paths not only at meetings of the board of directors. This body was not fictitious, Yuri Dmitrievich took an active part in the life of the club, he came to many games of Kazanka and the women’s team. That is, he was loaded into work processes, for him many things are familiar and understandable. Nagornykh is a very competent and thoughtful specialist who will not make hasty decisions. He was always distinguished by a fundamental approach, in any issue all sides were considered. It seems to me that the appointment of the Nagornykhs is the right decision.

– If you receive an offer to return to Lokomotiv, will you consider it?

– If such an offer is received, then I will meet with Yuri Dmitrievich. He knows my approach, I perfectly understand what demands he will make, so this option is quite likely, – Kuzmichev told Metaratings.ru.

Currently, Lokomotiv is 14th in the RPL WORLD table with 9 points after 12 rounds.
