The football club CSKA is not only one of the most famous football clubs in Russian football, but also the post-Soviet space. This is one of the few clubs that were able to win not only the championships of the USSR and Russia, but also became the owners of eurotrophies. Thanks to what this club managed to gain such popularity among football fans and how are things going with the modern football club CSKA? What are the hopes for the players and coaches for this season?
The best coaches of CSKA of the past
It's no secret that the success of the sports club is largely related to the coaching staff leading this team. CSKA coaches usually did not stay long in this position. Therefore, the best can be called specialists who not only managed to spend the most time at the helm of this team, but also to win the most titles with it. If you look at the history of this outstanding club, then the absolute leader in this race is Leonid Slutsky.
If we look at the history of the club, then CSKA football coaches rarely spent several seasons in a row as head coach. In contrast, Leonid Slutsky spent seven years on the main bridge of the team. And in the last three years, he led the team to the championship.
Current coaches of CSKA
If we talk about the current mentors of this club, then Leonid Slutsky was replaced by Viktor Goncharenko in this post. This Belarusian specialist achieved his main successes in the Belarusian championship together with the BATE team. After the end of the contract with this team, he led several Russian clubs, and all were quite successful. He even entered the coaching staff of Leonid Slutsky, being the head coach of the team. Since December 2016, Victor Goncharenko - CSKA football head coach.
The expectations of football fans regarding the club this season
The main question that worries fans of the legendary club is whether CSKA coaches, led by Viktor Goncharenko, will be able to continue the three-year hegemony of their favorite club in national football. In the current championship, Viktor Goncharenko left a good legacy. Currently, the team takes third place in the championship and behind the leading “Spartak” by eight points. But under the guidance of the current head coach, the club did not play a single game. The main intrigue of the season is whether this gap will be reduced and whether CSKA will be able to get ahead of Zenit, the second one?
