Kaleshin said that foreign coaches should learn Russian in two months
Russian coach Evgeny Kaleshin, recently fired from the First League football club Akron, called for getting rid of foreign specialists. His words are quoted by Bookmakers Rating.
Kaleshin said that foreigners must learn Russian in two months and hold press conferences only in Russian. “If he doesn’t learn the language, he gets a kick in the ass and a huge fine, dismissal. If you don’t learn the language, it means you don’t respect Russia,” he considered.
Kaleshin headed Akron from September 2022 to November 2023. The club stated that they decided to terminate the employment relationship with the specialist due to disagreements in the development path.
Last season, the Tolyatti team reached the final of the Russian Cup Path of Regions, defeating the Russian Premier League clubs Lokomotiv, Dynamo and Spartak. In the match for reaching the super final, Akron lost to Krasnodar.
