The coach of the KHL club “Ak Bars” Zinetula Bilyaletdinov resigned
The coach of Kazan “Ak Bars” Zinetula Bilyaletdinov resigned. This was reported on the YouTube channel of the club of the Continental Hockey League (KHL).
Bilyaletdinov said that he will remain in hockey after leaving Ak Bars, but will no longer coach. He considered that such work requires great strength and emotion and is a great responsibility. “For me, working as a head coach is already enough,” the specialist added.
Bilyaletdinov took charge of Ak Bars for the third time in his career in December 2022 and led the team to the final of the Gagarin Cup, where the Kazan team lost to CSKA Moscow. This season, Ak Bars was eliminated in the first round of the tournament playoffs, losing the series to Ekaterinburg Avtomobilist with a score of 1-4.
Bilyaletdinov won three Gagarin Cups with Ak Bars. He also won the Super League in 2006.
