Cherchesov: the coach must answer

Akhmat head coach Stanislav Cherchesov said after the match that he has no complaints about the players' commitment. “It is clear that in recent matches we have not achieved results, but in terms of the quality of play, both against Zenit and against Dynamo, they were good matches. When a team loses, in any case, it is the coach who must answer for it. Motivation? We do seem to motivate the players, but we are still not picking up points. This defeat does not suit us, and we will keep working,” Gazeta.Ru's correspondent quotes him as saying. Earlier, according to the outlet, Cherchesov revealed whether he would resign from Akhmat.
