Sozin: Disappointment in RPL – Dynamo and Lokomotiv Fail to Meet Expectations

Football agent Andrey Sozin expressed that the major disappointments of the Russian Premier League season were “Lokomotiv” and Moscow’s “Dynamo.”

“The disappointments in the RPL are ‘Dynamo’ and ‘Lokomotiv’. These clubs have simply regressed. A coach is needed who can say – I will win the championship. Can Galaktionov say that? No. He’s a good coach, possibly a wonderful person, but right now he isn’t in a position to win the league.

With Gusev at ‘Dynamo’, the same question arises. The team finished fifth – which is exactly where they were. If you don’t achieve results – the level isn’t high enough. Today, Gusev and Galaktionov are not winning coaches. There are a few winning coaches in Russia, but they are not currently in positions. Meanwhile, ‘Dynamo’ and ‘Lokomotiv’ are sliding down,” Sozin stated in a conversation with a correspondent from “Championat.”

‘Dynamo’ ended the 2024/2025 RPL season in fifth place, accumulating 56 points. The champions, ‘Krasnodar’, tallied 67 points. ‘Lokomotiv’ finished in sixth place, with a total of 53 points.
