Rubin published a video of Slutsky’s farewell speech

The press service of the Kazan “Rubin” in his YouTube channel published a video “History of one year”, which, in particular, included the farewell speech of Leonid Slutsky as the head coach of the team.

In mid-November, Rubin reported that Slutsky, who led the team since December 2019, left the post of head coach of his own free will. Yury Utkulbaev became acting head coach.

“Unfortunately, sometimes there are moments in life when you make the only possible decision in certain circumstances. In this case, it has nothing to do with game performance, with a sports item, with the tasks that we solve during the season. If you try to interpret the table the way you want, then we have reduced the gap from the first place, and not increased the gap from the second.

We, already you, will claim the first place, I sincerely wish you to achieve these results. But you will do all this without me. I want to thank you for the joint work, it was a great pleasure, it was not an easy grinding, the FNL is a difficult tournament,” Slutsky said, addressing the players at the team’s base on November 15.

Rubin is third in the MELBET First League standings with 37 points in 20 matches.
