Former head coach of Yerevan's "Pyunik," Andrey Talalaev, who successfully led "Khimki" to victory in the Russian First League, may be dismissed despite his recent triumph. According to sources from Sportball24, the club's management is considering parting ways with Talalaev.
After the successful end of the season, Andrey Viktorovich went on a well-deserved vacation. However, during this time, significant changes began behind his back. The owner of "Khimki," Azerbaijani Tufan Sadygov, decided to change the coach despite Talalaev's 5-year contract with the club.
The reason for this decision is Sadygov's desire to find a more compliant coach who will not interfere with the club's transfer policy. Tufan Sadygov is looking for a specialist who will support his vision and team development strategy without causing conflicts over transfers and player management.
It is worth noting that Tufan's son, Ilya Sadygov, and Armenian forward Arshak Koryan play for "Khimki."
According to our information, one of Sadygov's main complaints against Talalaev is the limited playing time given to his son, Ilya Sadygov.
