Earlier in the media it was reported that Lokomotiv was going to part with Yuri Semin and had already agreed on a contract with Serbian coach Marco Nikolic, who worked in the Serbian Partizan, the Hungarian Vidi and the Slovenian Olympia.

“I’ll say right away that by Serbian standards Nikolic is a good coach. He won the championship of Serbia and Hungary, won the Serbia Cup. But here the question is, why is it better, for example, Evseev, Borodyuk, Kobelev, Cherevchenko and others. After all, Semin for “Loco” – like Sir Alex Ferguson. I think that such a coach as Semin himself has the right to decide when to retire. After all, they do not want to renew the contract with him, not because he is a bad coach and there is no result, but because he is a complex, powerful and unyielding person. Nikolic has no positive experience playing in European competitions. The language barrier. If you invited such a figure as Villas Boash or Spalletti, one could still understand. The situation is generally abnormal. They change coaches when they become champions. But the point is in the approach. Pull and hold tension. Olic said that Loko was not mistaken if he chose Nikolic, and good results await him? This is the opinion of Olic. And there are opinions of Gadzhiev and other Russian coaches. Guessing now is not worth it. Only life will show what results this or that coach will achieve if he is appointed, ”Chernyshov said in an interview with Sport24 correspondent Dmitry Plamedyale.
