Lokomotiv Moscow fired the head coach of the football team, Mikhail Galatsiov. The chairman of the board of directors of the "Railway Workers", Yuri Nagornik, announced the club's decision. The reason for his resignation was the group's series of losses. A day earlier, Lokomotiv lost to Rubin Kazan at home and dropped into the relegation zone from the RPL. But last season Loco won bronze at the national championship. After that, the club parted ways with several leading players, among them Alexey Betarkov, who moved to Turkish side Galatasaray.
