The key facts
- Storozhuk is a candidate for the Krasnodar coaching post in case of Musayev's possible dismissal
- No agreements have been reached; Musayev continues working with the team
- Krasnodar has not won in the RPL for six matches in a row and trails the leader by four points
A candidate for replacement
Torpedo Moscow head coach Alexander Storozhuk is being considered as a possible successor to Murad Musayev as head coach of Krasnodar if the club decides to part ways with its current coach. This is reported by RB Sport (Life.ru writes citing it). According to the outlet, the owner of the Krasnodar club, Sergey Galitsky, has been in contact with Storozhuk, but the source provides no specific agreements. Musayev continues to lead the team for now.
Background: a winless streak
Talk of a coaching change comes amid a poor stretch in the championship: Krasnodar has not won in the RPL for six matches in a row — five draws and a home defeat to Zenit, 2:3. The gap to the championship leader is four points. Storozhuk, meanwhile, is familiar with the club's system: he worked with Krasnodar's youth team and already led the main squad in 2022. His current Torpedo sits third in the First League with 28 points after 15 rounds.
What is known and what is not
The information about Storozhuk as a candidate comes from a single source — RB Sport — and concerns only a possible option in case of a dismissal, not a decision that has been made. Neither the club, nor Galitsky, nor Storozhuk himself are quoted in the publication; there is no data on the timing or terms of a possible coaching change.
