Significant events are now taking place in the football team Spartak. The post of sports director of the club was taken by the British Paul Ashworth, who was previously mentioned in the press. 17 years ago, by the way, he already worked in Russia, namely in Rostov. In a similar guise. Even for a month he acted as head coach of the Don team. He was also a scout for English Premier League club Brighton. He also collaborated with African and Kazakh clubs.
Ashworth speaks excellent Russian, which was not the last trump card in his appointment. But the position of sports director is very troublesome and problematic.

Alexander Matytsyn himself announced today that he officially assumed the position of head of the board of directors of FC Spartak. He is also the first vice-president of Lukoil; the company has been the general sponsor of the “red-white” for more than 20 years. Previously, skier Elena Vyalbe, in particular, applied for this post. But quite naturally the choice fell on Matytsyn.

And it no longer affects the current life of the popular team…
