Former Rostov head coach Sergei Balakhnin spoke about the decision of the Brazilian defender of CSKA Mario Fernandez to resume his career.
In May, a football player with a Russian passport announced the suspension of his career for family reasons and left Russia. On December 11, it became known that the 32-year-old Fernandez decided to resume his career and will perform in Brazil in 2023.
— It is difficult to say something about this. It’s his decision, he’s a good footballer, so I’m happy for him.
I cannot comment on his contractual relationship: as far as I know, the contract between him and CSKA is still in effect, so it is impossible to predict what will happen next.
Of course, this is a player who would be glad to see any club in Russia. Defenders such as Fernandez are a real gem of the championship,” Gazeta.Ru quoted Balakhnin as saying.
