Ex-Spartak Player Yakovlev Discusses Potential Dismissal of Coach Stanković

Former Spartak Moscow player **Pavel Yakovlev** expressed his thoughts on the potential dismissal of **Dejan Stankovic** from the position of head coach of the red-and-whites.

«Removing a coach in the middle of the season… Spartak is still in the race, and the management needs to make the right decisions. The rumors about Stankovic’s possible resignation might just be speculation. Spartak is a team for the people, and in terms of discussion, it’s number one in the country. Right now, it’s crucial for Spartak to secure six points in their next two home matches. If they achieve results, there will be fewer questions. I have faith in Spartak and I care deeply for the team,» Yakovlev said in an interview with Championship reporter Vladimir Chetverikov.
