Moscow “Spartak” will not fight to get into the top three in the Russian championship if Guillermo Abascal remains the head coach of the team, says former Lokomotiv president Olga Smorodskaya.

— Will Spartak compete for RPL medals this season? If Abascal is not fired before the winter break, then it won’t happen. Perhaps they will be in the top five, but they probably won’t be among the top three with such an unstable game. Abaskal’s work at Spartak is not impressive yet, I don’t see any results, so we can’t expect a miracle from them,” Smorodskaya told RB Sport.

The Red and Whites are in fourth place in the RPL standings, six points behind the leading Zenit.

Abaskal took charge of Spartak in the summer of 2022 and led the team to RPL bronze medals in its debut season. In February, the club extended the contract with the Spanish specialist until the summer of 2025.

football journalist Igor Tsyganyk He told the details of the long-standing transfer story regarding the possible transfer of Vyacheslav Kobin to Dnepr.

According to him, when Dnipro club had to choose between Artem Fedetsky and Vyacheslav Kobin, Kobin was the first choice to strengthen the squad.

Tsyganyk stated that the football player could really be transferred to Dnieper and noted that they made him an offer in the first place. According to the journalist, in the event of such a transfer, Kobin could even play in the 2015 Europa League final, but ultimately the transfer did not take place.

The journalist emphasized that the failure of the transition was not related to financial conditions. According to his information, salaries in Shakhtar and Dnepr were approximately the same. The reasons why the transfer did not take place lie on a different level, but the details of this situation are not reliably known.

According to Tsyganik, Dnepr considered Kobin as a priority option, but the transition was never implemented. Artem Fedetsky played for Dnepr from 2012 to 2016. In the 2014/15 Europa League final, Dnepr lost to the Spanish team Sevilla (2:3).
