"Sergei Petrov's agreement with Krasnodar has been renewed for a longer period."
FC Krasnodar has announced the extension of defender Sergei Petrov's contract, keeping him with the club until the end of June 2026. The club's press service announced the news via their Telegram channel, with a message expressing their excitement about the renewed partnership.
The message read, "This guy has already played 322 matches (24,897 minutes) for the 'bulls' and will play even more. We have extended Sergei Petrov's contract until June 30, 2026! Let's break new records together."
Last season, Petrov broke the club record for the most minutes played in a Krasnodar jersey, surpassing Alexander Martynovich by a margin of 8 minutes. The historic moment occurred during a substitute appearance against Dinamo Makhachkala.
In May, Krasnodar clinched their first Russian league title with a 3-0 victory over Dinamo in the 30th round of the Russian Premier League (RPL) at the "Ozon Arena" stadium. The triumph earned the club the largest prize money for the RPL season, totaling over 1.25 billion rubles, with Zenit, CSKA, and Spartak receiving comparatively lesser amounts.
While the specifics of the record-breaking moment for Petrov are not thoroughly documented in public records, his contributions have been instrumental to Krasnodar's historic win and continued success in the league.
Sergei Petrov, with his numerous appearances in Krasnodar's jersey, has shown his commitment to the club, particularly in European-leagues and the Premier League. As he continues to break club records, such as the most minutes played, his game-changing plays will undoubtedly aid Krasnodar in their future football endeavors.
