“If I skipped something at the RFU coaching academy, then Abaskal didn’t go to school at all” – Mostovoy

Former Russian national team player Alexander Mostovoy commented on his training at the coaching academy of the Russian Football Union (RFU).

Mostovoy began training to become a trainer at the end of August.

— My training is taking place as usual, the next meeting is in November. Did I play truant? No, neither I nor anyone else skipped class. How can I play truant if the eldest of them all has already played truant, ha-ha!

Moreover, if I missed something, then [главный тренер «Спартака» Гильермо] Abaskal did not go to school at all and did not attend coaching courses. Everyone knows perfectly well that he did not play football. Where is football, and where are Spanish lessons, ha-ha! If Abaskal leaves Spartak, it is unlikely that they will take me on for an internship, and he will not go to complete his training as a coach at our RFU school. Sooner or later he will finish his job at the Moscow club, receive a tidy sum of money and go to his place in Spain – he will continue to relax and enjoy life. Because it’s unlikely that Abaskal will work anywhere after Spartak,” Sport24 quotes Mostovoy.

55-year-old Alexander Mostovoy played 51 matches for the Russian national team. He ended his playing career in 2005.
