LOL dont tell me they are gonna bringing back Voronkov
They have to let alekno stay and continue the progress…
@M his return to the national team of russia he already accomplish good result they won the european qulifier they finished 7th in world league and 4th in rio olympics. alekno is not a god who can turn everything just like that, as he said on his interview their is a problem he wants to find out what it is, only time can tell, they just need to give him time. keep him until tokyo 2020 you will see russia will be back on the olympic podium in tokyo 2020.
I agree with you
well, it’s really not alekno’s fault. voronkov DESTROYED the men’s national team during his stead. russia had so many young players with so much potential (vlasov, poletaev, kurkaev, and even kobzar and kliuka, to name a few), but were never given proper exposure. alekno literally had to fix the team in a matter of MONTHS, and i think reaching 4th in Rio was an achievement already for him. i hope he stays as head coach.
