Radimov finds Tashuev's departure from "Akhmat" premature and incorrect.
Former Match TV expert Vladislav Radimov has criticized the dismissal of Sergei Tashuev as the head coach of Ahmat following their 1-2 loss in the first playoff match to Ural. According to Radimov, the team displayed strong football, with their playoff position attributed mainly to lost points during the fall season rather than poor spring performance.
Radimov suggested that Tashuev's decision to step down may have been emotionally driven, given the "chemistry" within the team. He highlighted that, despite the loss, Ahmat remains well-positioned for overall success. However, unseating the head coach at this point could potentially exacerbate the situation.
Radimov recalled a similar scenario from the previous season, where Ural too changed coaches following the first playoff match and ultimately ended up relegated to the First League. In his view, if Tashuev's dismissal wasn't pre-planned, it could constitute a serious misstep, both on the coach's part and the club's management.
In broader terms, experts often caution that swift coaching changes can disrupt team cohesion, pose challenges in recruitment, affect fan support, lead to financial repercussions, and indicate a lack of long-term strategy. While specific instances of Ahmat and Ural are not extensively referenced, these potential consequences justify allowing coaches time to implement strategies and foster a synergistic team environment before enacting significant personnel decisions.
Bookmakers might question the European-leagues standing of Ahmat, given the coaching instability, as the Premier-league team appears to have strong football chemistry. Radimov's analogy of Ural's previous season's coach change resulting in relegation underscores the potential impact of hasty bookmakers decisions in football, suggesting long-term strategy and stability are crucial.
