With the onset of summer, Yuri Semin officially became unemployed. The contract with Lokomotiv came to an end, and now the legendary mentor can think about continuing his career. Despite his considerable age, the 73-year-old specialist does not intend to complete the coaching activity. Izvestia understood what prospects await Yuri Semin.

Not all
Yuri Semin is not going to pause his career and take time to rest. He is now open to proposals and negotiations. Truth, due to pauses associated with the coronavirus epidemic, the employment process may be delayed.

“I will be glad if there is where to continue my career,” Yuri Semin admitted to Izvestia. – Is there already an option? Wait, I only officially became unemployed since May 31 (laughs).

Immediately after the announcement of Lokomotiv to terminate cooperation with Semin, the club offered him the position of an honorary trainer. True, no one until the end did not explain what would have been the responsibility of Yuri Pavlovich, if he had agreed to this post. But in any case, it is clear that this would be a purely formal position, not implying any serious tasks. Semin immediately declined the offer and thereby made it clear that he was set up for real work.

There are options
It is still difficult to predict exactly where Yuri Semin will be, since the championship has not yet been completed. According to the authoritative portal transfermarkt.de, already at the end of this season, two head coaches of Russian clubs premier league (RPL) the contracts will be completed: we are talking about the mentor of the Tula “Arsenal” Igor Cherevchenko and the steering of the Grozny “Akhmat” Igor Shalimov. But, most likely, after the actual end of the championship or already at the beginning of the next draw there will be much more vacant seats.

“It is difficult to say whether there will be a demand for Semin,” former Russian national team coach Sergei Balakhnin admitted to Izvestia. – I would like Yuri Pavlovich to find a new club, since he is one of the most powerful specialists in our country. But even this does not give any guarantees that he will be employed tomorrow.
–
Yuri Semin himself in an interview with SE stated that he was ready to consider any proposals in the RPL, as well as from teams from neighboring countries. The specialist does not intend to descend to the level of FNL. The coach now has an excellent resume: he is a true legend of Russian football, while continuing to bring results.
–
It seems to me that Yuri Pavlovich will definitely be in demand. He burns with work, and this is the most important thing. Should I wait for him in Belarusian or Ukrainian clubs? I think Semin can work in any championship, especially in the post-Soviet countries, where there is no language barrier.

However, Yuri Semin is unlikely to be interested in going to the club without serious tasks. He has already stated that he dreams of becoming the oldest coach to win trophies in Russian football. At the moment, the legendary Konstantin Beskov is considered to be such, who won with Dynamo in the Russian Cup in 1995, when the coach was 75 years old.

“I applaud Semina and support his desire to continue working,” he told Izvestia ex-trainer Russian national team Haji Hajiyev. – Yuri Pavlovich – one of the leaders of our national coaching school. I would like it to work as long as possible: this will benefit Russian football. We often love to nod to the West. But then let us recall the statement of the great British specialist Alex Ferguson: “You need to continue to work, as long as you feel that you are capable of it.” He himself left Manchester United when he considered it necessary, and this is in contrast to the situation with Semin’s departure from Lokomotiv. Just the level of leaders in the English club and Russian is completely different. Unfortunately, our specialists often finish working too soon, such as, for example, Oleg Romantsev and Valery Gazzaev.

Yuri Semin has been training since 1982. He managed to work in eight clubs, and also led the national team of Russia and the Olympic football team of New Zealand. His key achievements as head coach are three gold championships in Russia and six Russian Cups with Lokomotiv, as well as one victory in the championship of Ukraine with Dynamo Kyiv.

Lokomotiv itself, after the departure of the legendary mentor, expects a lot of changes, in addition to the new coach Marco Nikolic. At least eight football players will leave the Moscow club. The current boss of the “railroad” has repeatedly stated that one of his main goals is to learn how to earn money. An important source of income may be the sale of players. Judging by the statements of Vasily Kiknadze, Yuri Semin was opposed to the club letting out some players. The main thing is that in an attempt to make money on transfers, Lokomotiv does not lose its results and the significant income from participating in European competitions.
