After the defeat experienced at home last Saturday in Ramenskoye, the "Saturn" team in the Russian capital, where Lithuanian Rolandas Džiaukštas plays, changed its coach.
Valery Petrakov was replaced by Leonid Slutsky at the helm of the team. "Moscow" currently ranks 6th in the Russian championship and is trailing the leaders, the capital's club "Lokomotiv," by 14 points.
33-year-old L. Slutsky's debut at the helm of the team will be this weekend in the city derby against "Spartak."
Although "Moscow" will be the first high-level club for the young and inexperienced coach, L. Slutsky is considered a very talented coach who works well with young players. Before becoming the coach of "Moscow," L. Slutsky coached the second division team "Olimpia" from Volgograd and the reserve teams of several top Russian league clubs.
