Dynamo's coach Lichka's resignation labeled as unjust by Cheryshev
Rewritten Article:
Czech coach Marcel Licka's shocking departure from "Dinamo" has left many questioning the decision, with former striker and ex-assistant coach of "Sevilla" Dmitri Cheryshev expressing his surprise. In a candid chat with RBK Sport, Cheryshev shared his thoughts.
"It's a staggering move to me," Cheryshev said, "as last season, the team was neck and neck for the top spot until the finale. Even this season, they've been battling at the peak and showing impressive results. I believe this decision by the higher-ups is a misstep."
Dinamo's official statement confirmed Licka's resignation. Cheryshev feels this decision is unjustified, given the numerous injuries and illnesses that have affected the team throughout the championship. "Considering the team's position at the chart's helm, along with the abundance of medals they clinched last year, I think the resignation isn't fair," he added.
RBK Sport's coverage hinted at trouble brewing beneath the surface. Cheryshev suggested that management might not be pleased with certain aspects of Licka's management. "Currently, Dinamo holds third place in the league, just a mere four points behind the leading position. With games still to play, the team could potentially match last year's result. Yet, the coach is shown the door at the season's end. There must be certain aspects displeasing the management," he concluded.
Dinamo's announcement of Licka's departure came on May 1. On April 29, their Russian Cup run ended prematurely with a disappointing 2-1 lower semi-final playoff defeat against Spartak. Post-26 rounds, Dinamo is fifth in the RPL with 47 points, lagging 11 points behind Krasnodar.
Cheryshev is the father of Denis Cheryshev, a former Russian national team midfielder currently playing for Greek club Panionios. As a player, Cheryshev himself shone as a striker for Dynamo Moscow from 1993 to 1997. He claimed silver and bronze medals in the Russian Championship and Russian Cup with the Moscow club.
