Valery Karpin, dismissed in the spring of the Moscow “Spartak” , who led the fairly well-known Western European club. He signed a contract with the Spanish “Mallorca”, now serving in the second rank of the division. Valery Karpin, for almost five years, led the “Spartacus” and as a head coach, and CEO and noted inter alia in relation to the rigidity of foreign specialists, now found himself in the shoes of a mentor-Legionnaire from which expectations are high.
Yesterday “Mallorca” announced the appointment of new head coach Valery Karpin, will replace Miguel Soler, under whose direction it has taken in the last season only 17th place in the second Spanish division. It’s a pretty interesting event. Valery Karpin, of course, not the first home football expert who went to work abroad. But the clubs with a more or less great name trusted to train a few of them, and it was mostly about the clubs from the former Soviet Union, as in the case of, say, Kiev “Dynamo”, staffed by Yuri Semin and Valery Gazzaev. In the same elite championships in Western Europe Russians still have not been claimed.
Spanish club football in recent years are widely considered the undisputed leader on the continent (remember that during Tuesday’s match for the European Super Cup “Real” beat “Seville”), and “Mallorca “- the team with the sonorous name. At the junction of the century, it is making important strides: in 1999, made the final of the Cup Winners’ Cup, in 2003, took the Spanish Cup, always played in the top division … The recession, which has experienced “Mallorca”, due primarily to the financial problems . In 2010, it went bankrupt. A consortium of Spanish businessmen (it also contains an outstanding tennis player Rafael Nadal) to save the club from extinction, but not from relegation in 2013 to a lower division.
What to find a coach who could help “Mallorca” regain lost status, its management paid attention to Valery Karpin, there is nothing strange. Most of his football career was held in Spain from 1994 to 2005, he played for the “Real Sociedad”, “Valencia” and “Celta” repeatedly and was one of the best midfielders in the Championship. Karpin speaks Spanish, knows Spanish football and, apparently, appreciates it.
This is evidenced by at least the fact. Since the end of the previous decade Valery Karpin headed the Moscow “Spartak” in the position of the General Director. When it Spartacus constantly strengthened the players of the Spanish championship and twice – in the autumn of 2008 and the summer of 2012 – signed contracts with coaches, work there – Michael Laudrup and Unaem Emery. Both eventually lasted club in Moscow for a brief period: Laudrup – a little more than six months, Emery – even less. And both fired, in fact, after the first serious failures to prevent at least finish the season. After they left, Valery Karpin took over coaching duties and, despite the fact that, too, did not win prizes, avoided dismissal until the spring of this year. And Michael Laudrup and Unai Emery between leaving “Spartacus,” confirmed the high class coaching. Laudrup has achieved good results with the English “Swansea”, and Emery won with “Seville” Europa League. Now their former employer, said at a presentation yesterday that he would like to “Mallorca” “played as” Barcelona “,” turned out to be in the shoes of a coach-Legionnaire, designed to improve the situation urgently ambitious team.
Secretary-General of the Trade Union of players and coaches of Russian Nikolai Grammatikov believes that “it is very important to have Karpin happened that did not work at other Russian coaches: to prove themselves in Europe.” “Our football at some point began to apply to the leading role, but in fact remained a thing in itself, developing on their own, often illogical and contradictory principles,” – he said, adding that, in his opinion, Valery Karpin has a chance to break trend due to language proficiency and “extensive experience in the cruiserweight championship.”
