Former head coach of Orenburg, Czech Jiri Jarosik, in an interview with Metaratings.ru, praised the work of his compatriot Marcel Licka at Dynamo.
After 18 rounds this season, the WORLD RPL team is in third place in the standings, behind Zenit by four points and Krasnodar by six.
— I followed Lichka because he is my compatriot. At the beginning of the season it was difficult for him, he tuned the players to his game and introduced his vision of football. During the first part of the season, Dynamo performed very well. I didn’t have the opportunity to watch the games, but the results were great! Lichka and his team went on a streak of 13 games without defeat, they beat Zenit twice and CSKA once. Marcel should be happy with his first half year at the club.
— Is Lichka the best coach of the first part of the RPL season?
– Certainly! I came to a strange and large team, and immediately produced results. I read that there was criticism at the beginning of the season, but now he deserves praise. He brought results – everyone should be happy. Of the best coaches of the season, one can also mention Vladimir Ivich, but they had their downfalls. For several matches in a row, Krasnodar lost points, perhaps there was no luck. “You shouldn’t make any precise choices for the first part of the season,” Yarosik said.
