The former head coach of a number of RPL clubs, Miodrag Bozovic, said that he considers all legionnaires who left Russia to be traitors.
Earlier, the International Football Federation (FIFA) allowed foreign players and coaches of Russian clubs to suspend contracts until June 30, 2023.
– Suspension of Russian football is a real shame! Nobody should touch the athletes. All leaders who say that sport is out of politics are lying. Sport is big politics. And I think the isolation will last at least another 2-3 years.
All the legionnaires who leave Russia are traitors! They must kiss the hand that feeds them. They had good contracts. Now they are simply betraying their comrades and all those people who paid them a lot of money. In no other country would they have been able to earn as much as in Russia.
But such a big country has a lot of opportunities for the development of football. So the removal and departure of legionnaires will only benefit, – Sport24 quotes Bozovic.
