Medvedev allowed the sports minister to head the RFU – HB Daily

Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko gave his consent to be nominated as a candidate for the presidential elections of the Russian Football Union (RFU). Especially for the Minister Mutko, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has even removed its ban on replacement of federal officials posts in sports federations. Considering that the aforesaid Mr. Medvedev introduced a ban, while still Russian president, it turned out that he took and revised the decision of the head of state.

On Tuesday, the long-awaited and repeatedly The announced extension of Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko for president of the Russian Football Union. The fact that it was Mr Mutko is the undisputed favorite of the scheduled elections for September 2 (RFU president became vacant after the early dismissal of Nikolai Tolstoy), recently said even people who are very far from football. Moreover, in recent weeks the regional football federations, one after another put forward Vitaly Mutko at the first post in the Russian football. But most importantly, the actual consent of the Minister of Sports, was not.

The long-awaited event took place, as can be inferred from the statements of the minister, after his meeting with Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev. It is noteworthy that due to Dmitry Medvedev Vitaly Mutko in 2009 (at that time he was already a year combined leadership of the RFU and the Ministry of Sports), resigned as president of the RFU, which he has held since 2005. “Earlier, Dmitry Medvedev banned by which heads of ministries may not hold positions in sports organizations, – Vitali reminded Mutko.- But today we met, and that limit only for me was shot. I can say that the agreed nominated. ” But there is one issue that needs clarification. It is logical because we assume that the decision of the President may review only the head of state. These are at the moment is Vladimir Putin. And then it turns out that the Prime Minister is reviewing the presidential decision.

However, when it comes to the withdrawal of the RAF from the crisis that hit Union just after leaving him Vitaly Mutko, such details appear hardly worth paying attention to. Especially that Mr Mutko has promised to return to the level of the RAF in 2008, the most successful in the history of Russian football. After all, in 2008, the Russian team won bronze medals in the European Championships. “We will make the most open, the most transparent organization. We will show and tell you how we will gradually go to the level that we had in 2008, “- said Mutko.

« tomorrow to thank all the organizations that I have put forward and even nominated. We will be with them to prepare for the conference. I will be a candidate for president. Elected – then I will decide together with you any problems, – said Russian ministr.- football must improve their skills and prepare the players for the national team ».
