“Melezhikov was like a friend to us, the news of his departure from the club was very upsetting” – Spartak midfielder Litvinov

Midfielder “Spartak” Ruslan Litvinov said that the former general director of the club Evgeny Melezhikov has always been friendly to the players of the capital club.

Last week, Melezhikov left Spartak by agreement of the parties. He was replaced by Oleg Malyshev, who previously held senior positions in one of the largest consulting companies in the world.

– I have been working with Evgeny Vladimirovich for a long time, and it was always very pleasant to talk with him, he always treated us with warmth. Was like our friend. To be honest, I was very upset when I learned about this news, and now I am waiting for us to meet in person, to meet, so that I can personally express my gratitude to him for everything he has done for us.

When I moved to the first team, he immediately drew attention to me. He is very attentive towards the young: he tells what is best to do, directs. He was with the team. I think everyone can only speak positively about him,” Metaratings.ru quotes Litvinov.

The new RPL season starts on July 21–23, the Red-Whites will play at home in the first round with Orenburg.
