Former president of Moscow Lokomotiv Olga Smorodskaya believes that the head coach of the railway workers, Mikhail Galaktionov, is a mid-level specialist.
On Saturday, Lokomotiv tied with Krylya Sovetov in the match of the 16th round of the WORLD RPL. Lokomotiv led with a score of 3:1, but in stoppage time for the second half, Vladimir Pisarsky and Benjamin Garre scored for the hosts. The Argentine converted the penalty in the 12th added minute. After the game, during a flash interview on Match TV, Galaktionov reacted obscenely to the refereeing.
— I think that Galaktionov is an average coach. He’s not bad, but average. However, in Russia the coaching problem is so acute that I can’t even imagine who to replace him with. For now, we need to leave it,” RB Sport quotes Smorodskaya as saying.
Lokomotiv is seventh in the standings with 25 points.
