President of “Torpedo” Denis Maslov commented on the words of former team coach Sergei Ignashevich about the bad attitude towards him in the club.
Earlier, Ignashevich said that in the Moscow team he was treated inhumanely.
– I don’t know what Ignashevich had in mind when he said that in Torpedo they didn’t treat him like a human being. We exchanged with Roman Ivanovich [Авдеевым — владельцем «Торпедо»] SMS impressions. I think Sergei Nikolaevich remembered the emotions he experienced when the stands shouted at him not the most favorable. Initially, the question was not about the fans? It’s better to ask him a question. I know that Lyapin is friends with Dimka Michkov (Ignashevich’s assistant). He clarified with Sergei Nikolaevich, and he seemed to say that he was talking more about the atmosphere, and not the club.
More human? Borodyuk never dreamed of how we treated Ignashevich. I don’t know how we could have been more humane. Why didn’t you even dream? Well, because they treated Sergei Nikolaevich more reverently, as a young specialist who needs help in everything, chewing everything, trying to let him steer somewhere himself; even if you do not agree, do not interfere, let him make a mistake, let him make the right decision, show him that he is in charge, that he is a big boss.
He needed to be given confidence. Therefore, he was treated more sparingly. And to all his requests, too. There wasn’t one that we didn’t do. None! There were many requests inside and out. Sergei Nikolaevich is a modern person, as a coach, as a manager. Tries to understand all the processes taking place in the club. Naturally, he has his own opinion on each of these processes, ”Championship” quotes Maslov as saying.
Under the leadership of Alexander Borodyuk, Torpedo won a direct ticket to the RPL last season. In the 1st round of the Russian Championship of the 2022/23 season, Muscovites will host Sochi on July 17 at home.

I am a sports writer and journalist who has written for various online publications including Sportish. I’m originally from the UK but currently live in Toronto, Canada. I’m also an author on Sportish and have written several articles on a variety of sports-related topics.
For many, the coming year is associated with bright hopes and expectations of changes for the better in life and work. The famous football coach is no exception. Vladimir SharanShared with the reporter Spor.ua Statements about the New Year theme.
– Until what age did you believe in Santa Claus?
– I don’t even remember. Probably up to age six. No more. Until I went to school.
– What is the most unusual New Year celebration in your life?
– The most unusual and extraordinary was the New Year, which I spent in Israel during my stay as a player in the USSR youth team. An international tournament was organized in this country, in which our team participated. It’s plus twenty outside and we’re celebrating the new year in shorts and T-shirts.
The next day we had to play against the Swedish national team in the final. The Swedes sat next to our table on New Year’s Eve, they saw how we relaxed, and how we relaxed. Believe me, we rested much better and played much better (smiles). As it turned out, the Swedes were very weak at the festive table. We won the final match 2-0.
– As a Ukrainian citizen and a football coach, what do you expect from the new year 2026?
– To be honest, everyone is waiting for one thing; peace. And I’m not the only one who can say that. If there is peace, everything will return to normal. I really want the war to end as soon as possible, for people to be free, for parents not to bury their children. This is the most important thing. And as a coach, I expect changes for the better in our football.
I would like the Ukrainian championship to be full-fledged and finally achieve some kind of stability. And also for the Ukrainian national team to successfully pass the World Cup play-off tests and please the fans as often as possible. I also really want the football players in our club to have a good future, to become real football masters, to gain recognition and to be invited to various national teams.
