The move has surprised many and already fans have voiced their opinion on what could prove to be a major talking point by the end of the season.

J – “Viktor, you have surprised many by leaving CSKA for this position at Rubin Kazan. What fuelled the move here? “
O – “I had been contemplating taking on management with some part-time clubs in Russia while I was with CSKA to gain further experience in coaching. When Kurban decided to leave Kazan I saw an opportunity and I took it. Although this is my first managerial role I feel that I can achieve big things here in Kazan and I hope that the fans feel the same”
J – “ What are your expectations for the upcoming season? “
O – “ If my players give 100% to me and my backroom team then the results will come. During my career I put in the extra hours to become the player I was and I expect my players to do the same.”
J – “ You arrive after Berdyev guided the team to qualify for the Europa League. Do you feel any pressure that you may not emulate his success? “
O – “ I don’t think there is any pressure on me at all.
