Cherchesov commented on his dismissal from the Russian national team

“Today we have agreed with the head of the RFU, Alexander Dyukovs, that our coaching staff will stop working in the Russian national team.

I would like to thank everyone with whom we have cooperated over these five years: first of all, the players, the staff of the national team, representatives of the RFU.

Special thanks also to the fans of the Russian national team, whose support will forever remain in our memory.

I wish the new coaching staff success in solving the important task of reaching the world championship - 2022 ", - the press service of the RFU quotes Cherchesov.

Cherchesov headed the Russian national team in 2016.

Under his leadership, the national team of the country reached the quarterfinals of the 2018 World Cup, but failed to make it to the playoffs at Euro 2020.
