The famous actor, webpage Lokomotiv fan Valery Barinov, in a conversation with SE, commented on the possible appointment of Lucien Favre as head coach of the team.
«I will not root for him. Let the fans from Germany also come to cheer for Lokomotiv. I feel like I am further and further from this club. Lokomotiv has become a German team, but I have other sympathies. It is not clear what is happening to them. They sell players, buy them, demolish the stadium, or build them. We have always been a family, and now it all becomes «like a mud stream,» Barinov said to «SE».
According to todofichajes, Favre is the main contender for this position. According to the source, Ralf Rangnik, the head of the sports and development club, is personally interested in inviting the 63-year-old German specialist to Lokomotiv.
On October 5, Lokomotiv announced the dismissal of Marko Nikolic. The 42-year-old Serb has led the team since June 2020. Lokomotiv is fourth in the Tinkoff RPL standings with 17 points in 10 matches.
