Lokomotiv said simply that Gisdol was 바카라removed from the post of head coach바카라 after less than four months in charge. He told German tabloid Bild it was a gesture of protest at working in a country 바카라whose head of state is responsible for a war of aggression in the middle of Europe.바카라
바카라I cannot stand on the training field in Moscow, coaching the players, demanding professionalism, and a couple of kilometers away orders are being issued which bring great suffering to an entire people,바카라 Gisdol told the newspaper.
Lokomotiv is owned by Russian Railways, which was placed under U.S. sanctions last week. Gisdol was appointed in October by then-sporting director Ralf Rangnick, who then moved on to coach Manchester United.
Former Liverpool and Ukraine striker Andriy Voronin left his post as assistant coach of Dynamo Moscow and Ukrainian goalkeeper Yaroslav Hodzyur quit another club, Ural Yekaterinburg. Ural바카라s president told the Tass news agency a second Ukrainian player would also follow.
Others are staying put. 바카라I바카라m not the kind of person to take a ticket and fly away,바카라 Dynamo바카라s German head coach Sandro Schwarz said in comments published in Russian on the club website on Saturday. 바카라That바카라s not me. I feel responsibility and I will be at the club.바카라
The Russian Premier League has continued operations despite the war, while the Ukrainian Premier League was suspended when the invasion began last week. Brazilian players from clubs around Ukraine appealed to their government for help leaving the country.
