The head coach of the Russian national team, Valery Karpin, did not rule out the possibility of leading Real Sociedad in the future.
The Russian coach attended the match of the 20th round of the Spanish championship between Real Sociedad and Barcelona (2:1).
“In two or two and a half years, everything is possible,” DAZN España quotes Karpin as saying.
During his playing career, Karpin played for Real Sociedad in 1994–1996 and 2002–2005.
In November, the specialist left the post of head coach of Dynamo. He took charge of the Blue and Whites in the summer of 2025, signing a three-year contract. At the same time, he combined work in the club and the Russian national team. Karpin’s contract with the RFU runs until the summer of 2028.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino He found himself under a wave of criticism from pundits and fans after he joked about the behavior of England fans at the World Cup during a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
Speaking to world leaders, Infantino joked: “For the first time in history, no Britons have been arrested at the World Cup (Qatar 2022 tournament), this statistic is really special.”
However, such words were not accepted in England. Chief Constable Mark Roberts, who heads the football policing force, said such statements might be made in jest but were neither helpful nor accurate. Roberts emphasized that decent behavior by England fans at World Cups was the norm rather than something special, and cited data from recent world forums on the minimum number of arrests of Englishmen.
Infantino’s words, in addition to criticism from the police, also led to the Football Fans’ Association (FSA) calling on the FIFA president to focus not on “cheap jokes” but on the issue of high ticket prices for the 2026 World Cup, which has caused discontent among fans.

“The offensive line of the national team is also problematic now, not like on the right wing, but this situation has been going on for several seasons,” Fedorchuk said in an exclusive interview with the website Meta.ua. – Roman Yaremchuk plays very little for Olympiacos. Artem Dovbik is injured and is unlikely to be an assistant in the match against the Swedish national team.
Our biggest hope now is Vladislav Vanat. He is in good form as he plays regularly for Girona. However, he is quite dependent on his partners and it is still unknown how his rival will behave. This striker needs space.
