German coach Markus Gisdol leaves his position as Lokomotiv Moscow manager following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
His statement:
” I cannot pursue my calling in a country whose leader is responsible for a war of agrression in the middle of Europe.”
That is not in line with my values, which is why I have resigned from my position as coach of lokomotiv Moscow with immediate effect.
I can’t stand on the training ground in Moscow, train the players , demand professionalism and few kilometres away orders are given that bring great suffering to an entire people”.
