Former world boxing champion and State Duma deputy Nikolai Valuev spoke about the possible resignation of Valery Karpin from the post of head coach of the Russian national football team. His words are quoted by Sport24.
“Karpin spoke about the possible departure from the Russian national team on emotions, to be honest. It was a splash after the most offensive defeat from Croatia, it can be understood, “- said Valuev. He considered that the national team does not need a constant change of coaches, so Karpin is better off staying. According to the deputy, the Russians can still get to the world championship in Qatar.
On November 15, Karpin admitted that he could leave the Russian national team before the play-off matches for the 2022 World Cup. He noted that he needs a week to decide on the future.
Karpin headed the Russian national team in July this year. An agreement with a specialist is calculated until the end of December. Under his leadership, the team took second place in the selection group for the 2022 World Cup and will make their way to the world championship through play-offs.
