The honorary president of the Russian Football Union, Vyacheslav Koloskov, commented on Leonid Slutsky’s work with “Shanghai Shenhua,” where today, November 22, he became the vice-champion of China for the second consecutive time.

“Slutsky has done well with Shanghai; they won the Super Cup and secured their second consecutive silver medal. I view this with great pleasure. He showcased his capabilities in Russia through his work with CSKA and has reaffirmed his qualifications in China. Naturally, when people talk about the team, they think of the coach, and when discussing the coach, they recall Russia. This is also gratifying.

He is perhaps the only coach representing Russia abroad currently. This is beneficial for the image of Russian football and the coaching community,” Koloskov’s words were quoted by TASS.
