Semshov: CSKA Should Consider Appointing Berezutsky or Ignashevich as Head Coach

The well-known former Russian footballer **Igor Semshov** shared his thoughts on who CSKA should consider for the head coach position following the departure of Serbian specialist **Marko Nikolic**.

«CSKA also faced an unexpected situation. Candidates will now be evaluated. There are homegrown talents available. The Berezutski brothers and Ignashevich have performed well at CSKA, and Alexei has prior experience leading the team. Perhaps one of them should be entrusted with the head coach position.

Regarding Almeyda, we need to approach such candidates with caution. It’s clear that foreigners are independent individuals; they could get upset and simply leave. A long-term commitment is essential. Sometimes it takes years to build a team. If the coaches keep changing every year, it will be difficult to establish a strong foundation and compete for top positions,» Semshov remarked in an interview with **Championat** correspondent Yegor Kabak.
