Slutsky said that he did not take the punishment for insulting a journalist calmly
Russian coach Leonid Slutsky commented on the decision of the Ethics Committee of the Russian Football Union (RFU) to punish him for insulting a journalist. His words are quoted by the YouTube channel “Comment.Show”.
Slutsky said that he did not take this punishment calmly. “It’s just that the Russian Football Union has never given a single penny for the school, for example, for its maintenance. But they decided to take 100 thousand from me so that they could get a little less,” he added. The specialist emphasized that he does not understand why he was given a fine, because at the moment he has no income in the football environment.
On August 14, the RFU stated that Slutsky’s behavior on the air of the “Comment.Show” program on August 14 did not meet the requirements of article eight of the RFU ethics regulations. Slutsky was ordered to pay a fine of 100 thousand rubles, and was also banned from carrying out any football-related activities for a one-year suspended sentence.
Until November 2022, Slutsky served as head coach of Rubin. He has worked with the team since 2019. It was reported that the specialist left her of his own free will.
In 2015-2016, Slutsky led the Russian national football team. Under his leadership, the team qualified for Euro 2016, but at the tournament the team took last place in Group B and did not make it to the playoffs.
