“I am very glad that our national team will be trained by a Russian specialist.

I would very much like us to stop talking once and for all about the appointment of a foreign specialist to our national team as head coach.

This is wrong, there should always be a domestic specialist, "Sport-Express quotes Gazzaev as saying.

He noted that he supports the decision of the Russian Football Union to appoint Karpin.

“Although it seemed to me that it was worth appointing Sergei Semak with a combination of work at Zenit.

But Valery Georgievich was appointed - with which I congratulate him!

We will now worry about him.

We hope for a successful performance of our team, ”added Gazzaev.

The 52-year-old specialist will combine work in the national team and in Rostov, which has been in charge since 2017.

Earlier it was reported that Karpin named his main task as the head coach of the Russian national team.
