Timur Lepsaya: Spartak Could Showcase Marcela Lichkas Talent

Football executive **Timur Lepsaya** shared his thoughts on the prospects of former head coach of Moscow’s **Dynamo**, Czech **Marcel Licka**, potentially being appointed to a similar position at **Spartak**.

«I would personally be very curious to see Licka at Spartak. I have a great, warm, and friendly relationship with Marcel, and I genuinely care about his career. I believe that Spartak could be the team where Marcel could truly shine. That’s for sure,» Lepsaya mentioned in a video on the YouTube channel “This is Football, Bro.”

The 48-year-old Czech specialist **Marcel Licka** led **Dynamo** from June 2023 until May 1, 2025. During the 2023/2024 season, under his guidance, the white-blues finished third in the Russian Premier League, missing out on the title in a critical match against **Krasnodar**, where a draw would have sufficed (0:1). On October 31, it was reported that Licka had left the Turkish club **Fatih Karagümrük**, which he had taken charge of in July 2025.
