Lokomotiv Moscow's Coach Proposes Changes to Disciplinary Measures in Russian Football

In a recent development, former Lokomotiv Moscow coach Yuri Semin has voiced his concerns about the current disciplinary system in Russian football. Semin believes that the system primarily harms clubs and does not significantly contribute to improving discipline.

Semin proposed an alternative approach, suggesting that disciplinary fines should be regulated by the clubs' internal mechanisms, avoiding long-term suspensions. He further suggested that the funds from these fines could be used to develop the clubs' youth academies, rather than being channeled towards external bodies.

Meanwhile, Spartak's head coach, Dejan Stankovic, is currently serving a one-month suspension for using foul language towards a referee in a match against Dinamo. As a result, Stankovic will miss four Russian Premier League (RPL) matches and one Cup game. His suspension ends on October 19, after which he can return to lead Spartak in a Cup match against Dynamo Makhachkala.

Interestingly, the key factor in Rostov's victory over Spartak was not specified in the text.

Apart from these developments, 41-year-old Sychev, a former Russian footballer, has expressed his intention to resume his playing career. However, no details about the team he plans to join have been disclosed.

According to a UEFA study, the attendance at RPL matches has been equated to that of Portugal's, although specific numbers were not provided.

These changes in approach to disciplinary measures and the return of coaches like Semin and Stankovic are likely to bring new dynamics to the Russian football scene.
