Former coach of Moscow “Spartak” and the Russian national team Oleg Romantsev spoke about his conversation with the current coach of the national team Valery Karpin. Reported by RIA Novosti.
67-year-old Romantsev admitted that Karpin independently decided to stay at the helm of the national team. A conversation with an experienced colleague only convinced the coach of the correct choice.
“I don’t think my call played a decisive role. I felt that he had already made a decision, ”Romantsev is convinced.
On November 21, Karpin spoke about Romantsev’s call. According to Karpin, the former coach of Spartak discouraged him from leaving the Russian national team.
Karpin will continue to work with the Russian national team. He stated this on the air “Komment.Show” on YouTube. After the failure in the decisive match of the 2022 World Cup qualification, the coach allowed him to leave the team.
The Russian national team will have play-offs for the right to play at the World Cup in Qatar. Due to the defeat from Croatia in the last qualifying match, the Russian team ended up in second place in the group and lost a direct ticket to the tournament.
