Stanislav Cherchesov did not remain unemployed for long after leaving the Russian national team.

Less than half a year has passed since the coach accepted a new team.

She became the long-term hegemon of Hungarian football "Ferencváros".

The appointment was announced by the club on Monday afternoon.

At the same time, nothing has been announced about the terms of the contract.

According to media reports, the headquarters will include Miroslav Romashchenko, Gintaras Stauche and Vladimir Panikov.

“I want to make the team a champion with a game that will bring even more fans to the stadium,” Sport24 quoted Cherchesov as saying.

The managing director of Ferencvaros Pal Orosh called the appointment of such an authority as a Russian a great pride for the club.

“The goal is to win the Hungarian Championship and Cup, as well as re-qualify for the group stage on the international stage, preferably in the Champions League. We were looking for a coach who can put a tough hand on the team. Cherchesov's professional experience is undeniable, his personality is a guarantee of further development ", - quotes the words of the" Championship "functionary.

Recently, there have been various rumors about the career of a specialist.

Domestic media reported about the interest in Cherchesov on the part of the Turkish "Besiktash" and the Belgian "Antwerp".

Others have argued that the Hungarian Football Federation allegedly views him as the head coach of the local national team.

The specialist himself admitted that he was ready to lead the national teams of Russia and Poland on the eve of the play-off matches for the right to go to the 2022 World Cup, if he received such an offer.

In response, the Polish Football Union stressed that they were not going to dismiss Paulo Souza.

One way or another, even before the new year, the mentor found a new place of work.

And in Budapest a serious challenge awaits him.

Numerous fans of the team have long been accustomed to victories and do not suffer the slightest setbacks.

As already mentioned, Ferencváros is the strongest team in Hungary and rarely faces real competition in the domestic arena.

"Fradi" became the champions of the country 32 times.

In second place in terms of the number of titles is MTK (23).

They also won the national cup 23 times.

In the last three seasons, the hegemon had no equal in the OTP Bank League.

For comparison, in the past, he took first place with a 20-point lead over the closest rival Puskas Academy.

There are also unfortunate periods.

So, in 2017 and 2018, Budapest citizens were left without gold, losing the palm to Honved and MOL Fehervar.

It was possible to return to victories after the arrival of Sergei Rebrov.

Under the leadership of the Ukrainian, it turned out not only to secure dominance in Hungary, but also to achieve success in European competitions.

In 2019, the team advanced to the group stage of the Europa League, where, in particular, they scored four points in the confrontation with CSKA.

And the following year, the debut took place at a similar stage of the Champions League.

Ferencvaros got into the same quartet with Barcelona, ​​Juventus and Dynamo Kiev and suffered five defeats and one draw.

The relationship between the club and the coach seemed to be perfect.

All the more unexpected was his departure in June after three years of work.

Moreover, the gap turned out to be quite painful.

The Ukrainian accused the leadership of not coordinating transfers with him.

“For me, this is a matter of principle, because I was not going to leave Ferencvaros, I liked working here.

However, if a club says something to the players behind my back, it means that this club has made some choice, ”the specialist said in an interview with“ Team No. 1 ”.

After the departure of the tough, disciplined Rebrov, the Budapest residents were headed by the democratic and soft Austrian Peter Stöger.

This castling did not justify itself.

The players relaxed and lowered their demands on themselves, which did not take long to affect the results.

On the international arena, the team failed to reach the Champions League group stage, and in the LE suffered a fiasco, taking only three points in matches with Bayer, Betis and Celtic.

Moreover, "Fradi" are close to being left without gold in the domestic championship for the first time in several years.

They left for the winter break with only one point advantage over Kishvarda.

In this situation, Cherchesov is called upon to restore order in the team and return it to the victorious path.

At the same time, work outside Russia will not become a mystery to him, because the coach previously worked successfully in Austria and Poland.

He worked with the Warsaw Legia for less than a year, but this was enough to complete the “golden double”.

And in the middle of the 2000s, the specialist was in charge of the modest Wacker Tyrol, which, despite financial problems, kept it in the elite division.

And the goalkeeper spent a significant part of his football career in Europe.

In 1993, he moved from Spartak to Dynamo Dresden, and from 1996 to 2002 he played in Austria, which he loved, with the same Tyrol and Wattens-Wacker.

There, the Russian ideally learned German.

Therefore, the only problem in a new country for a specialist may be a long pause in his career at the club level.

In June 2016, he left Legia due to a conflict with the club's management, despite victories (there is a parallel with Rebrov), and in August he headed the Russian national team, with which he reached the quarterfinals of the home world championship.

Now the coach again has to do his daily work and, in addition, do it in an unfamiliar championship.

At home, the appointment of Cherchesov as head coach of Ferencvaros was generally received with optimism.

Thus, Vladimir Gabulov, who played under his leadership in Dynamo and the national team, expressed confidence that the specialist will achieve success in Hungary.

“The coach is not looking for an offer on his own.

Sitting and waiting for you to be called from a top club or top championship is not quite the right approach.

Cherchesov made the absolutely correct decision.

Moreover, I know that after the national team he wanted to work abroad and did not consider options from the Russian championship.

He is interested in international experience.

As for the rank and status of Ferencváros, this is a team that fights for the championship in their country and regularly participates in European competitions.

What status can you still dream of?

- quotes Gabulov Sport24.

In turn, the former captain of the Russian national team Alexander Mostovoy, who spent most of his career in Spain, suggested that Cherchesov's successful performance at the home world championship helped to get such an offer.

“We know that if a person ends up in the national team, this is already a plus for his future career.

We have had such examples.

You can train in a club, and no one knows you.

Now name the teams from Italy and Germany - no one will say who is leading them.

And the national team is always in sight, and I am sure that the World Cup has played its role.

Cherchesov has a name ", - quotes Mostovoy" Championship ".

Finally, former Manchester United midfielder Andrei Kanchelskis congratulated the specialist on his appointment.

“Yes, they talked about Turkey, but I think the option with Ferencvaros is more interesting.

The most important thing is Europe.

It is necessary to give the result, as it was before.

That is why we stopped at his candidacy ... He is an experienced coach, he worked in the national team, and earlier - in clubs, ”Kanchelskis emphasized.

We also wished good luck to the coach in the national team.

A post with the word "Good luck" in Hungarian "Sok szerencsét" was published on the team's official Twitter account.
