“Galaktionov will have the opportunity to both follow young players and hold training camps with Lokomotiv” – Grigory Ivanov

The President of the Yekaterinburg “Ural” Grigory Ivanov believes that Mikhail Galaktionov will be able to combine work in the Moscow “Locomotive” and the Russian youth team.

According to Match TV, Galaktionov may be allowed to combine his post at Lokomotiv with the position of head coach of the youth team. The final decision will be made by the President of the Russian Football Union (RFU) Alexander Dyukov.

“Now our team doesn’t play that much. Therefore, Galaktionov will have the opportunity to both follow the young players and hold training camps with Lokomotiv. I don’t see anything wrong with that.

Would I have allowed the coach of “Ural” such a combination? So far, no one invites our coach to the national team. If they invite, then we will think. The main thing will be the opinion of the mentor. Here Valery Karpin decided that now, while the national team does not play a lot, you can train both it and Rostov, ”Vprognoze.ru quotes Ivanov.

Galaktionov has been leading the Russian youth team since 2018. In the first part of the season, the coach worked in parallel at the Nizhny Novgorod PARI NN, and in November he headed Lokomotiv.
