Mostovoi Says Slutsky's Trophies Built on Gazzayev's Legacy

Alexander Mostovoi blasted Leonid Slutsky's coaching record, claiming his CSKA titles relied on Valeri Gazzayev's squad, and doubted Slutsky and Murad Musayev's footballing credentials.

Alexander Mostovoi has dismissed Leonid Slutsky's record as a coach, saying his trophies were built on foundations laid by Valeri Gazzayev at CSKA.

The former Russia midfielder went further, questioning whether Slutsky and Krasnodar coach Murad Musayev have any real footballing background at all.

Slutsky took charge of CSKA Moscow in 2009 and went on to win three Russian Premier League titles with the club before later spells in the Netherlands, China and, this year, with the Russian national side. Mostovoi, capped 62 times for Russia and a European Cup Winners' Cup winner with Celta Vigo, has previously been outspoken about coaches who reached the top of the game without a playing career of note.
