Former Torpedo head coach Sergei Petrenko advised Alexander Kerzhakov not to accept an offer from the Moscow club.
According to media reports, Oleksandr Borodyuk has already left the post of head coach of the Black and Whites. According to Match TV, the main contender for the position is Kerzhakov, who left PARI NN during the off-season.
– Who do you think can save Torpedo from relegation from the Premier League?
“We have such coaches: Juran, Bozovic,” RB Sport quotes Petrenko. – As a rule, they solve such tasks to preserve the place.
– Yuran is on the list of candidates, but Kerzhakov is considered the favorite.
– I would not advise him to take on the “Torpedo”. It seems to me that in the current situation it is very difficult. Kerzhakov better go for some promotion. He showed in Nizhny Novgorod that he knows how to work. In my opinion, Torpedo is not his team.
– Promotion – is it to wait until the German specialists are fired at Lokomotiv?
– He will definitely not be called to Lokomotiv.
Is heading Torpedo a risk to the coaching reputation?
– You can not cope, and it is not known whether they will call somewhere later. It’s hard for me to say who will go to the current Torpedo. It will be very difficult to keep him in the Premier League. Torpedo is now in the place it deserves.
After five rounds, “Torpedo” takes the penultimate place in the Russian Championship table, gaining one point. The next match the Moscow club will play on the road against St. Petersburg “Zenith” on August 21. Watch the live broadcast on the MATCH PREMIER channel from 17:25 (Moscow time).
