The former coach of Admiral Tambiev was suspended from his job at Dynamo after a confrontation with fans.
Dynamo Moscow has temporarily revoked the powers of head coach Leonid Tambiev, who coached Primorye Admiral. The club announced the suspension on November 9, and appointed Oleg Orehovsky as the official. The decision was made due to a conflict between the coach and the fans.
The reason for the scandal was the defeat by Torpedo (3:4) in Nizhny Novgorod on November 7, which interrupted a series of three victories. After the game, when the team was about to leave, Tambiev started arguing with the fans, where he said: "You don't need to travel with the team."
The coach suggested that criticism of the fans could be paid for, accused them of undermining his authority and swore. But the next day, even before the club's official press release, Tambiev recorded a video message in which he apologizes:
I succumbed to my emotions, I got angry after the defeat. I sincerely apologize to the Dynamo fans for my last sentence. I don't even have it in my mind. We try for you.
At the last press conference after one of the games, Tambiev, in response to a journalist's question about the dissatisfaction of the fans, said: "There is no need to provoke." He also said that he supposedly doesn't hear the disgruntled cries of the fans when the team is in the game, and is generally unbiased about outside opinions.
The club officially announced that by order of the CEO, the performance of the duties was entrusted to the defense coach Oleg Oruhovsky. The length of Tambiev's suspension was not specified. It is possible that Dynamo will play the next match against SKA on November 11 under the leadership of Oruhovsky, who has already successfully replaced the coach in the victory match against the Shanghai Dragons (3:2).
The reasons for workforce changes vary. Dynamo's press service explained Tambiev's absence on November 5 due to family circumstances.
