Slutsky Leonid Viktorovich, coach of FC CSKA: biography, personal life, sports career. Biography CSKA head coach Slutsky
It will be calculated for two years and will come into force from the next season. In the meantime, the team will be coached Frank Frazier, under whose leadership she is now sixth in the Dutch championship. the contract Fraser with the Arnhem club is calculated before the end of this season, respectively, his departure will not burden Vitesse with any obligations.
Assistant Slutsky in his new team will be , with whom he worked and in , and in , and in , and in .
For the first time that Slutsky can lead Vitesse, the Dutch media started talking in late November - early December 2016, after it became known that the coach would leave CSKA. However, the specialist left for England, where he accepted Hull, which he left in December 2017. On January 28 this year, Slutsky was seen at an FA Cup match - sitting on the podium next to the leaders of Vitesse - the general director Jost de Wit and technical director Mark van Hintum.
WHAT THEY SAID IN VITES
Van Hintum today he did not stint on compliments to the 46-year-old Russian coach.
"Leonid is known for his tactical ingenuity, attention to detail and a clear understanding of how the style of play should be. His arrival is an opportunity for Vitesse to reach a new level. I am glad that a person with such qualities will work at our club. He has a wealth of international experience - in particular, he was the head coach of the national team," said van Hintum official site "Vitesse".
"These qualities were a priority for us in the search, they are much more important than nationality," he stressed.
WHO RUNS THE ARNEM CLUB
Vitesse is owned by a Russian businessman Alexander Chigirinsky, in the zero included in the top 100 richest people in the Russian Federation. He acquired the club in 2013 from a former Soviet football player Merab Jordania.
According to the Dutch media, a good friend of Slutsky is involved in the leadership of Vitesse -. In 2010, when Jordania joined Vitesse, information appeared that Abramovich was the true owner of the club. The Georgian did not confirm this, but at the same time he did not hide his friendship with the owner of Chelsea. Informal cooperation between the Arnhem and London teams does exist - more than 20 blue players have been on loan at Vitesse, for example, a Serbian who now plays for Manchester United.
WHAT DID "VITESS" ACHIEVE
The yellow-blacks have been in the top Dutch division continuously since 1990. Above the third place, however, did not rise. If we talk about the last three championships, then in the 2014/15 season, Vitesse finished fifth, in the 2015/16 season - ninth, and in the 2016/17 season, in which he took national cup, - again the fifth. In the current championship, as mentioned above, Arnhemians are on the sixth line.
According to transfermarkt.de, the total value of Vitesse's first team players is 27.3 million euros. For comparison: the composition of CSKA, where Slutsky worked for a long time, is estimated at 101.68 million, and Hull - 65.3 million.
In "Vitesse" there is also a Russian football player - a defender, well known to Slutsky from CSKA. For the Dutch team, the ex-soldier has currently played four matches. Recently, another Russian player was in Vitesse - a striker who returned to Lokomotiv in the summer of 2017.
I feel more and more confident in the Netherlands. The only Russian coach working at a serious level in Europe set a new club record for Vitesse. Unexpected, right?
What record did Slutsky set and who did he surpass
After 10 rounds, Slutsky's team shares the second or third place in the Eredivisie with 23 points. This is the best start in the history of Vitesse! The Russian specialist surpassed the achievement of the current head coach of the Netherlands national team Ronald Koeman, under whose leadership the yellow-blacks scored 22 points in the 2000/01 season. By the way, the team finished that championship in sixth place.

Slutsky has his third win in a row, Golovin has his second redemption in France, Hazard has started tearing up La Liga in Saturday's football digest.
For comparison, last season Vitesse had 15 points after 10 rounds and was in fifth place. This means that the team with Slutsky is really progressing. First of all, in attack. She scored six more goals than a year ago, but she did not become more reliable in defense. I also conceded one goal more. It seems that the entertainment of the Vitesse game has increased, however, some fans of the yellow-blacks criticize the coach for his boring style. Still, in the Netherlands, the beauty of football is valued almost more than the result.
Leonid Viktorovich entertains the audience, if not on the field, then on Instagram for sure. On his page you can find a lot of things - from a funny photo with a giraffe to a call to support the midfielder Navarona Fora in the fight for the title of the most fashionable football player. The bright publications of the Russian coach are being discussed in the Netherlands.
How Slutsky replaced Vyacheslav Karavaev in Vitesse
Vitesse continues to stay at the top of the Eredivisie table despite the loss Vyacheslav Karavaeva. One of the best players teams at the start of this season according to the average score from InStat (292 points). The right-back of the Russian national team was sold to Zenit, according to Transfermarkt, for 8 million euros.
In place of Karavaev, the club from Arnhem took the defender of the Israeli national team Eli Das, who became a free agent in the summer after leaving Maccabi Tel Aviv. However, Dasa did not play until October, apparently due to the fact that he did not go through the preseason. In September, the 21-year-old became the main right-back of Vitesse Julian Lelyveld, who was on loan with the Go Ahead Eagles the previous season. Not to say that this replacement for Karavaev has become equivalent. For example, for the match with PSV in Eindhoven (0:5), Lelyveld earned only 209 points from InStat, being the worst of the main players. And in the meeting with Wallwijk, he received a red card and earned 227 points - this was also one of the lowest results in the yellow-blacks. But the more experienced Dasa is more reliable: his scores for matches in October with Utrecht and VVV-Venlo are 312 and 311 points, respectively.

What the Russian coach lacks in the Netherlands
Slutsky is clearly sincere when he says he has no regrets about leaving CSKA. In a recent interview, the 48-year-old coach spoke about how much he and his assistants, the Berezutsky brothers, earn at Vitesse, as well as about what he lacks in the Netherlands.
“My salary at Vitesse is five times less than at CSKA. I had about the same salary as here at Hull City, - Leonid Viktorovich said on the air of Match Premier. The Berezutskys speak excellent English. The only Russian football players who have a successful business. IN last years their non-football careers were already larger than their football careers. The brothers are one of the most intelligent football players I have ever known. That's why I invited them, that's why we're interested. I am very comfortable working with them. For some nuances, we can argue very loudly in the locker room, but the basis of football thinking is the same for us. Their salary? Questions on this topic are best addressed by Berezutsky himself. I can only say that their salary is not enough even to pay for housing here. No one will legally allow them to work for free, but they are definitely not here because of the money.
I work in Arnhem, so I perceive life here as a long business trip. I'm not bored, I'm constantly busy. There are no traffic jams here, many people ride bicycles. Small towns have their own charm. What is missing in the Netherlands? Families come first. The son is already an adult, he cannot just change schools. The second is theater, because when I had a bad mood in Moscow, I knew it helped me change it. The third is a Russian bath."
Leonid Slutsky is known to all football fans in Russia as one of the the best coaches in modern history this sport. How did he become a famous coach, and what clubs did he coach?
Childhood and youth of Leonid Slutsky
Born and raised Leonid Viktorovich Slutsky in the city of Volgograd. It was there that he was born in May 1971 in the family of a teacher kindergarten and master of sports in boxing. At the age of six, his father died, and the upbringing of his son fell entirely on the shoulders of his mother.
From childhood, Leonid stood out for his mental abilities. Therefore, studying at school was very easy for him. In parallel with her, Lenya was engaged in the football section. As a result, he graduated from high school with excellent marks. And then he went to college physical education in hometown.
While studying at the university, Leonid successfully acted as a goalkeeper in the Zvezda youth team and showed nice results. He was promised a great future, which was interrupted by an accident. Leonid was very responsive and kind from childhood, and when the neighbors asked to get their cat out of the tree, he could not refuse. But the young man fell off the tree and received numerous injuries and fractures. After a year of rehabilitation, Leonid could no longer play football professionally. At the same time, he graduated from the institute with honors and entered graduate school. It was from this moment that his coaching career began.
Coaching career of Leonid Slutsky
Slutsky began training at the age of 22, when he gathered teenagers under his banner and created the Olympia Volgograd team. These young men eventually became good football players, and the team was able to win the Russian Cup among amateur teams in 1999.
After that, Leonid Slutsky went to work in the Elista Uralan. At first it was a double, which, under his leadership, took second place among the doubles of the teams in the Russian championship. And then he was already in charge of the main team of the club, but the money in Elista ran out, and the team ceased to exist.
And the young coach went on promotion. In 2005, Slutsky headed FC Moscow. Two seasons later, the team took 4th place in the Premier League, and for the first time guaranteed itself participation in the UEFA Cup. At the same time, Slutsky was fired. But good coach did not get lost and signed a contract with the Samara Wings of the Soviets. In this team, Leonid worked for two seasons and with him the club took sixth place in the championship. But in the second season, everything changed, and the results of the team deteriorated. Then Slutsky decided to leave the Wings of the Soviets and in 2009 he headed CSKA.
It was a big step forward for Slutsky, and the army team found a coach on long years. Under his leadership, CSKA managed to become the champion of Russia three times and win two victories in the Russian Cup in seven seasons. At the same time, the team never fell below third place.
In 2015, Slutsky, in parallel with the army team, began to train the Russian national football team. But participation in the 2016 World Cup cannot be called successful. After graduation, Leonid left the post of coach of the national team.
Six months later, Slutsky moved to Holland and headed Vitesse. Right now, starting from July 1, 2018, Slutsky is coaching this club.
Personal life of Leonid Slutsky
In the personal life of Leonid Slutsky, in contrast to his coaching career, there is constancy. He has been married to a girl named Irina for many years. In 2005, their only son Dmitry was born. Irina is a philosopher by profession and this helps Leonid a lot in his successful career trainer.
Leonid Slutsky has been playing football since the third grade in football school stadium "Spartak". After leaving school, he entered the Volgograd State Institute of Physical Culture and at the same time began to play as a goalkeeper in the newly created Zvezda team from Gorodishche, but after playing only 13 matches, he received a domestic injury, after which he could not return to big football.
coaching career
After graduating from the institute with honors, Slutsky entered graduate school. At the same time, in 1993, he began coaching career, working with a group of 12-year-old football players at the Volgograd "Olympia". In this team, he raised such famous football players like Roman Adamov, Denis Kolodin, Andrey Bochkov and Maxim Burchenko. In 2001, the then head coach of the Elista "Uralan" Sergey Pavlov invited him to lead the backup team. In 2003, after the departure of Uralan from top division, replaced Igor Shalimov as the head coach of the club. After the disbandment of Uralan, Slutsky was offered a position as coach of the Moscow double.
In July 2005, he replaced Valery Petrakov as the coach of the main team of FC Moscow. In the 2007 season, until the last round, the club claimed the first championship medals in its history and reached the final of the Cup of the country, however, at the end of the championship, the club's management terminated the contract, which was calculated until 2010, which was decided a few more days regardless of the final result. In November 2007, after the change of ownership and the entire management of the Wings of the Soviets club from Samara, it became known that Slutsky would be the new head coach of the Samara team, replacing Alexander Tarkhanov in this post. On December 21, Leonid Slutsky signed a three-year contract with the Wings. Having assembled in Samara almost from scratch new team, Leonid Slutsky in the first season achieved 6th place with her in the Russian championship. On October 9, 2009, Leonid Viktorovich wrote a letter of resignation from the Wings of his own free will. It was accepted by the president of the club, Igor Zavyalov.
On October 26, 2009, he was appointed head coach of CSKA, the contract was signed according to the 3 + 2 year scheme.
He made his debut as the head coach of CSKA four days after his appointment - on October 30, as part of the 27th round of the Russian Football Championship 2009, the army club hosted Terek Grozny and won with a score of 1: 0. Then in the Champions League, CSKA played Manchester United at Old Trafford, the game ended in an epic 3-3 draw. In the championship, CSKA lost 0:2 to Rubin, who soon won the championship; then the army team beat Spartak in the derby (3:2). Then, in the Champions League at Luzhniki, the army team defeated Wolfsburg with a score of 2: 1. Under Slutsk, CSKA won the final matches of both tournaments - in the Russian Championship, Saturn was beaten with a score of 3: 0, and in the most important match On the 6th round of the Champions League in Istanbul, Besiktas was beaten with a score of 1: 2, this and the loss of Wolfsburg to Manchester United allowed the army team to reach the playoffs of the tournament for the first time in their history.
By the time Slutsky was appointed to the post of head coach of CSKA, the army team had to play seven final matches of the season - four in the Championship and three in the Champions League. Three victories were won in the championship (including in a derby over Spartak) and one defeat (against Rubin), which allowed CSKA to take 5th place and get a place in the Europa League for the next season.

“Suspicions that there would be no fair fight on the field arose even before the starting whistle, when the bookmakers announced an unprecedented influx of people who wanted to bet on the victory of Terek. Bookmakers continued to accept bets, but reduced the odds for the home team to a minimum.
The match turned out to be really strange. With two goals from the Grozny legionnaire Pancu, the defenders of Samara seemed to make way for their rivals themselves. And when at the beginning of the second half striker “Wings of the Soviets” Yevgeny Savin, having made a double, equalized the score, the partners were not in too much of a hurry to congratulate him.
The last minutes of the meeting were generally comedic. The guests got up frankly, without interfering with the opponents to create scoring chance after moment. And they couldn't score. Either the striker will miss the ball a meter from the goal, then it will hit the post. Only exits one on one with Lobos, the audience counted three pieces. And when in the end left alone on the penalty Bendz after a canopy from the corner still brought victory to “Terek”, both teams seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
Added suspicion and the absence of two main stars on the field, “Wings”: the Czechs Koller and Yaroshik. Football experts in the press have formulated a very plausible version that the “Wings” gave “Terek” three points for the victory given to them last season. At the same time, last year's match, which ended with a score of 4:3, was also called suspicious. RFU President Vitaly Mutko said that he "didn't like the match very much":
“I am very ashamed of the Samara team,” Mutko said, promising that the RFU ethics commission would watch this match again, but the conclusions should be made by the relevant authorities. True, it is not entirely clear which organs and what should be looked at if no one has contacted them.
The coach of "Wings" Leonid Slutsky immediately after the game flew to Chisinau, where he spends these days for a hundred Moldovan football coaches seminar on the topic "Improvement of group and team interactions in defense (principle zone defense)". That is, he talks about what his defenders unanimously portrayed in the match with Terek.
- I read newspapers, blogs and comments after the match. I want to say with all responsibility that the team did not give up the match! - as if nothing had happened, Leonid Slutsky said in Chisinau.
- And why in last minutes ten match players just stood up?
- Belozerov was injured. This is the main reason. Secondly, the players are "addicted". Nobody gave up the match. As for bets on Terek, what does the Krylya Sovetov Club have to do with it?
Even if no one wants (and most likely will) investigate what happened, Slutsky's reputation will be significantly tarnished, and the Samara stands will now greet the coach with a whistle.
