Alexander Popov Set to Join Revamped Coaching Staff at CSKA Moscow

As reported by «Championat,» Alexander Popov will remain part of the coaching staff at CSKA Moscow and will continue his role within the club.

To recall, the 44-year-old coach was a member of Ilya Vorobyov’s coaching team during the last season. Following the conclusion of the season, Vorobyov’s staff was dismissed.

Recently, media outlets speculated that Popov might join the coaching staff of Moscow’s «Dynamo.» There was also interest in him from other teams in the KHL, but he will be joining the revamped coaching staff of the army team.

Last season, the CSKA squad was eliminated from the Gagarin Cup, losing to Dynamo Minsk in the first round of the playoffs. Currently, CSKA has yet to appoint a new head coach following the termination of Ilya Vorobyov’s contract.
