Alexander Shikunov: Surprised No Russian Team Signed Yuran

The former sports director of Spartak, **Alexander Shikunov**, commented on the appointment of Sergey Yuran as the head coach of the Turkish club Serik Belediyespor, which competes in the second division of the country.

«I honestly don’t understand where Yuran has gone. What kind of team is this? A Turkish club belonging to Tufan Sadigov? We’ve already discussed ‘Khimki’ for six months, enough of these Tufan clubs! We have experienced this firsthand.

Yuran needed to continue working, as he had already taken a break. He is a good, talented, and serious coach, but I’m surprised no one in Russia picked him up. Yuran has gone to Turkey to stay in shape,» Shikunov said in a conversation with Championat correspondent Vladislav Kruglov.
