I think he should apologize. And as soon as possible. Although he personally did not insult her and personally did not say this to her face. He can also be understood as a coach, although he should not have behaved like that. These are emotions, this is such a terrible agony when you lose. It is necessary to apologize, ethics says that under any circumstances he must behave in a civilized manner and must not call names, one must not let down the VFV and Russia as a whole.
