The President of the Russian Football Union, Alexander Dyukov, said that the head coach of the Russian national team, Valery Karpin, independently decided to leave Dynamo Moscow; the RFU did not put pressure on the specialist.
Before the start of the season, Karpin was appointed head coach of Dynamo; in November he left his post at the club.
— Valery Georgievich Karpin focused on working in the national team. Can we say that the results of Dynamo and the national team’s recent matches led to this? What is your position based on the results of the last two matches of the national team?
— It was Valery Georgievich’s decision. There was no influence on my part on him. At the same time, I don’t see a connection between Valery Georgievich’s decision and the results of the team’s last two matches.
The team performed well in the September and October matches. In the game against the Peruvian national team in St. Petersburg, we could well have won. As for the match with Chile in Sochi, I can’t say that the team looked worse than the opponent, but, of course, they didn’t play enough to win.
Overall, I would rate the season that the team spent as eventful and successful. Firstly, we managed to use all FIFA windows – we played 10 matches out of 10 possible. This assessment is relevant for all our teams: everyone played and played a lot, more than 160 matches of all football teams were played this season. This is very important for the development of players, especially young ones.
The national men’s team looked very decent in most games, demonstrating high-quality football. There were beautiful, convincing victories. Maybe the opponents were not top teams, but they were strong teams. It is important that young football players made their debut for the national team – and not only made their debut, but also proved themselves and established themselves in the squad.
There is high interest from spectators and fans in the national team’s matches. On average, almost 31 thousand people were present at each match, there were high television ratings and viewing shares,” a Match TV correspondent reports Dyukov’s words.

Former coach of the Ukrainian national team Jozsef Szabo Meta.ua has exclusively chosen the version of the three best Ukrainian football players of this season for its website.
“In the first row, Ilya Zabarny is almost out of the competition,” Sabo said. – As far as I remember, there has been no regression in the game yet. Yes, the defender had unimpressive tackles, but these were isolated cases. But he’s only 23 years old. The contract with Paris Saint-Germain shows that this football player is currently one of the best in Europe. And do not forget that at that age he played 55 matches for the Ukrainian national team.
I will give second place to Ruslan Malinovsky, who seems to have found a second youth after being injured. This guy’s head is clear, making great passes is not difficult for a midfielder. Largely thanks to Malinovsky’s effective play, the Ukrainian national team managed to qualify for the play-offs in the 2026 World Cup qualifying tournament.
The third will be Everton’s left back Vitaly Mikolenko. He is a consistent starter for his team. And no matter what position the team is in, the English league is still the strongest league in Europe. He is an irreplaceable football player in the national team.

Leonid Slutsky last year he performed well as coach of the Shanghai Shenhua football team. This opinion was expressed by the striker of Togliatti “Akron” Artem Dzyuba.
Last season, Slutsky took second place in the Chinese league with Shanghai Shenhua and led the club to the Asian Champions League playoffs for the first time. The team also won the Chinese Super Cup.
“He’s doing well in China, the only thing he was missing was a championship, everything was leading to that,” Dziuba said. “But it’s tough for a team that’s been in fifth place all their life, they don’t have that winning mentality.”
Slutsky is 54 years old and has been at the helm of the Chinese club since December 2023. In his career he has coached Rubin Kazan, Uralan Elista, Mosca, Krylya Sovetov Samara, CSKAEnglish “Hull” and Dutch “Vitesse”. Together with CSKA the specialist became champion of Russia three times, won the Russian Cup and the Super Cup twice.
