Krikunov: Traktor Needs a Russian Coach, Not Gordon
The ex-Russia head coach says struggling Traktor should ditch foreign hires for a domestic coach, questioning the club's management along the way.
Vladimir Krikunov, the former Russia national team head coach, says Traktor should turn to a domestic coach rather than persist with an American at the helm.
The Chelyabinsk club is bottom of the Eastern Conference with 6 points from 8 games under Scott Gordon, its third North American coach in a row.
Krikunov also questioned who keeps bringing in foreign coaches and suggested Traktor's general manager may need to go as well.
