Esmantovich Reveals Three Candidates for CSKA Head Coach Position

The president of CSKA, Igor Esmantovich, has announced that he has a shortlist of three candidates for the head coach position of the army club. Ilya Vorobyov, who spent only one season with CSKA, has vacated the role at the end of the season.

“There is a circle of candidates, and there are three in total. I won’t disclose their names right now; let’s be patient for a little while. Discussions are ongoing, and we are exploring options. I assure you that we will issue a press release on this matter very soon,” Esmantovich was quoted by “RIA Novosti.”

As a reminder, CSKA concluded the season with a loss to Dinamo Minsk in the first round of the Gagarin Cup. For two consecutive seasons, the army club has failed to advance beyond the first round of the playoffs.
