Gadzhiev said that the departure zone in the RPL is too large

President of Dynamo Makhachkala Gadzhi Gadzhiev does not believe that the relegation zone in the Russian Premier League (RPL) should be increased.

– Increase the relegation zone in the RPL and the number of teams in the play-offs? I do not think that this is correct, because even now the zone is large. Four teams can fly out – this is already 25%. The fourth part is on the verge of departure. It’s a lot, not a little. When even such regulations were adopted, many experts believed that two teams were enough. Also because those teams that can rise to the RPL need adaptation,” Gadzhiev told Legalbet.

Torpedo and Khimki flew out of the RPL at the end of the 2022/23 season, Rubin and Baltika will play in the Russian championship from next season. Also, the 14th and 13th clubs from the WORLD RPL standings will play in play-offs with the teams from MELBET-First League, which took the third and fourth lines.
