According to the “Championship”, Valery Karpin is among the contenders for the position of head coach of the Moscow “Spartak”. Also, according to a source, the club is ready to invite former team captain Andrei Tikhonov as a temporary team coach until the end of the season.

Former Spartak mentor Oleg Kononov left his post due to unsatisfactory team results. Muscovites in the Russian championship lost four games in a row.

Earlier it was reported that the RFU is against combining Cherchesov’s posts in the Russian team and the club.
