“I understand those who spoke negatively about Berdyev’s invitation” – President of Dynamo Makhachkala Gadzhiev

The president of Dynamo Makhachkala Gadzhi Gadzhiev said that the choice of Kurban Berdyev to the post of head coach of the team was correct, despite the initial negativity from the outside regarding his appointment.

The 71-year-old specialist took charge of Dynamo in July. Makhachkala residents are in first place in the MELBET First League standings, gaining 37 points.

“I understand experts who sometimes even spoke negatively about Berdyev’s invitation to the club and called the decision ambiguous. Sometimes this was based on life experience and on the views professed by Kurban Bekievich. Allegedly, the club needed a coach with fresher, more modern views. But before inviting him, we weighed the pros and cons. And now we can definitely say that the decision was the right one.

Bekievich has worked with really big clubs in recent years, where the level of logistics was higher. But he accepted our conditions and really showed himself here as a professional,” the Championship quotes Gadzhiev as saying.
