Karpin believes that Spartak needs to change their coach
After the defeat from Lokomotiv, former Spartak midfielder Valery Karpin said that the red-whites need to change their coach as soon as possible.
Karpin said that Spartak's last game was a “disgrace” and that Abascal's team played “without desire and without understanding of what they were doing on the field.”
Karpin also said that Spartak needs to find a new coach who can "put things in order" at the club.
Bulaκov agrees with Karpin
Former Spartak player and coach Sergei Bulakov agrees with Karpin that Spartak needs to change their coach.
Bulakov said that Abascal "did not live up to expectations" and that Spartak "needs a new coach who can get the most out of the team."
