Rinieri has spent last season in Modena and Rovigo and decided to reinforce the team who was relegated from Russian B League and will try to return to the same division in the next season.

Currently, Leningradka is preparing in Italy, in Liguria where they will be next three weeks. The team from Saint Petersburg brought four new players and also the new coach.
