Kerzhakov agreed with Karpin’s advice to Russian football players to leave the RPL
The coach of the Serbian Spartak from Subotica, Alexander Kerzhakov, advised Russian football players to leave the Russian Premier League (RPL). His words are quoted by Sport Express.
“For the development of players, this is absolutely correct – and can be seen from the same [Александру] Golovin and [Алексею] Miranchuk,” explained Kerzhakov. He emphasized that he agrees on this issue with the head coach of the Russian national football team Valery Karpin.
On September 12, Karpin called on Russian players to leave for European clubs. He noted that he advised football players to try themselves outside the Russian Premier League (RPL) many times. The coach added that he feels the difference between the level of the national team players who play in Europe and those who remain at home.
Kerzhakov is a three-time Russian champion with Zenit. After retiring in 2017, he coached the Russian youth team, as well as the clubs Tom, Nizhny Novgorod and Cyprus Karmiotissa. Since June 2023, he has been heading Spartak from the Serbian Subotica.
