FC Krasnodar is a Russian club, which was founded in 2008 on February 22nd. More precisely, plans for its creation were long ago, but it was on this day that he received professional status. The owner, as well as the initiator of the creation of this team is a man known as Sergey Galitsky. Well, I have to admit - his project was a success. The club quickly became popular and took its rightful place in the Russian Premier League. So you should talk about this.
Start
After the licensing procedure was successful, FC Krasnodar began to play in the second division. The composition of the first match was held against “Taganrog”. The game ended in a goalless draw, but four days later the team scored their first victory: it was a match against the Sochi “Pearl”.
FC Krasnodar had (and has) a fairly promising and young team. The leader, coach of the guys was Vladimir Volchek. Under his leadership, the team took third place, losing only to “Volgar” and “Bataysk-2007”. Well, the players completed their first season very successfully, and this turned out to be a good start to a promising future.
Premier League Exit
In 2009, FC Krasnodar was to announce its readiness to participate in the first division of the Russian Premier League. Many teams refused this honor, so the official letter from the PFL was sent to a new promising club. Well, it was decided to accept this gift of fate. And FC Krasnodar finished its first debut season in the Russian championship in tenth place. The result, of course, is not as stunning as in the case of success in the second division, nevertheless this is an achievement for a young club that has not even turned three years old. The following year, “Krasnodar” surpassed itself, completing the season in fifth place.
And in 2010, FC Krasnodar signed a contract with Serbian coach Slavolyub Muslin, who had previously coached Lokomotiv. The result was a very good deal. Also, FC Krasnodar decided to strengthen the composition of the players. Such footballers as Michkov, Amisulashvili, Angelzhovich, Drinich were bought. They had extensive experience in terms of appearances in the Russian Premier League. In general, to their promotion, the team, or rather its leadership, prepared seriously.
About Krasnodar Derby
In football, FC Krasnodar played with dignity. And finally, a few years after the emergence of this team, the day came that many were waiting for so much: June 18th, 2011 is the day when the real Krasnodar derby took place. Then “Kuban” against “Krasnodar” entered the field. All pre-match hands were in favor of the Kuban team. Critics believed that this club had a decent experience, plus the history of the team totaled more than one decade. What is Krasnodar? Many said that the young club, which was barely three years old, had practically zero experience in the Russian Premier League, and the chances were very small! But it was Krasnodar that won in this game, breaking, as they say, the system. Despite the penalty assigned to their goal (unrealized by the Kubans), one removal from the field managed to achieve victory. The only goal scored by Nikola Drinich. So FC Krasnodar, whose composition photo shows us happy football players, went down in history as the undoubted winner of the first non-Moscow derby in history.
About European competition and further appearances in the Premier League
FC Krasnodar has become famous and popular. For the first two seasons of playing in the Russian Premier League, the team took a stable place in the middle of the rating of clubs in our Federation. She wrote a lot of victories at her own expense, and quite impressive. What is the devastating score 6: 1 against “Mrdovia” or a sensational victory over “Anji”? The game then ended with a score of 4: 0, and that day Wonderson scored a terrific hat-trick.
In 2013, the Serbian coach left the team, and Oleg Kononov, who had previously led the squad , took his place. Under his control, the team alternated devastating victories (such as the match against Spartak, which ended in their favor with a score of 4: 0) and sad defeats (for example, when CSKA defeated the bulls, scoring five goals against them alone). In general, there were a lot of bright matches.
In the Europa League, the club began its performance with qualifications. For six matches, the team scored 20 goals for their rivals. In the Europa League, “Krasnodar” showed himself well. The current coach has achieved this thanks to the constant rotation of the players. And the season 2014/15 “Krasnodar” and did start with four crushing victories in this tournament. True, they failed to win. The bulls finished the League in third place, but this is a decent result.
