"Spartak's coach will continue his duties through the winter season"
In the recent Rostov vs Spartak match, Bayramyan was named the key factor in Rostov's victory, leaving Spartak's performance under scrutiny.
The current situation with Spartak has been a topic of discussion, with the Control and Disciplinary Commission of the Russian Football Union (RFU) suspending Dejan Stankovic for a month due to his behaviour during an RPL match against Dinamo. This disqualification will cause Stankovic to miss four league games and one cup match.
The disqualification has not been met with unanimous agreement, as former Spartak player Yevgeny Lovchev believes that Stankovic deserves time to work on himself and bring Spartak back to form, despite the current team problems and emotional outbursts. Lovchev noted that under Stankovic, the team had shown good results, but the players are not providing the necessary support, and the coach's negative activity is irritating the referees.
Lovchev's support for Stankovic, however, is not universal. He was disqualified for using foul language towards a referee, an action that many find unacceptable. Despite this, Lovchev suggests that Stankovic should remain as coach until the winter break.
As of now, Spartak is in 8th place in the RPL standings with 12 points. The team's performance has been a subject of debate, with some attributing the struggles to Stankovic's absence and others to the team's lack of cohesion.
Interestingly, the Russian Premier League (RPL) has matched Portugal in attendance according to a recent UEFA study, indicating a growing interest in Russian football.
In a related development, Igor Sechin, the Deputy Prime Minister of Russia, has proposed a reform of fines after Stankovich's disqualification, suggesting a need for stricter penalties for similar incidents in the future.
This ongoing saga in Russian football promises to keep fans engaged as the season progresses.
