Arshavin: “Rubin management has been looking for a replacement for Rakhimov for a long time and now they have found Artiga”
Former St. Petersburg Zenit footballer Andrei Arshavin said on Match TV that the management of Rubin Kazan had long been looking for a replacement for head coach Rashid Rakhimov.
On Tuesday, Rubin terminated the contract with Rashid Rakhimov, and on Wednesday appointed Spaniard Frank Artiga as head coach.
— The management or someone in the management has been looking for a replacement for Rakhimov for a long time, and now they have found it. As for Artiga, perhaps his appointment is not so clear, but on the other hand, he is familiar with the championship, and in general his work is normal. Not enchanting and not fantastic. Maybe they expected super progress from him. They replaced Rakhimov and replaced him,” Arshavin said on the air of the “Everyone for the Match!” program. on the Match TV channel.
After 18 rounds, Rubin scored 23 points and ranks 7th in the WORLD RPL table.
