PARI NN defender Dmitry Zhivoglyadov said that Nizhny Novgorod head coach Sergey Yuran’s interest in him played a big role in his decision to move to the club.

The footballer signed a three-year contract with PARI NN. Earlier, he left Lokomotiv, for which he had been playing since 2019.

– The desire of the head coach for me to be in the team played a big role. We talked, he had a strong interest, so I didn’t think about the transition for a long time.

It is not worth talking about the offers of other clubs now. Everything before is history. I am a player of the Nizhny Novgorod team, and all thoughts are only about her.

Expectations, of course, should be the highest. I want this to be a new stage not only in my career, but also for Nizhny Novgorod football. We need to prepare well in order to enter the season full of energy and spend it much better than the previous one. The guys told me that in Nizhny Novgorod they love football very much – we will try to score as many points as possible and please the fans. I want them to enjoy our game, – said Zhivoglyadov “Championship”.

Last season, Zhivoglyadov played 21 matches for Lokomotiv and provided five assists.

The new season of MIR RPL starts on July 21-23. In the first round, PARI NN will host Zenit at home.
