These two coaches are similar in their love to attack -
not only on the field [both are former strikers] but also outside the
stadium. They are not comfortable for the management as they are not very
keen on diplomacy.
But still the stories of these two people are absolutely different. When
Yuran came to Khimki [in the middle of the season 2008] the team was at
the very bottom of the table. Though not everything went well at the beginning
Yuran managed cope with the task and saved the team from relegation.
Blokhin came into the team that finished last season on the fourth place,
very close to bronze medals rather than to fifth line. And he was compared
to Slutsky, the favourite of the players and journalists. And that got
on his nerves.
But Blokhin had problems with the players and the press. 'Difficult character'
is the mildest expression of those given by people closely acquainted
with the coach. The team reined by Blokhin ended the season as number
nine in the table and with an overwhelming failure in the UEFA Cup.
According to Sport Express, Miodrag Bozovic can head FC Moskva in the
nearest future while the main candidate for this post in Khimki is Konstantin
Sarsaniya.
