And after the victory over the Khabarovsk team, the club’s management from the banks of the Neva, through the mouth of its millionth fan Ivan Zamankov, named all five candidates - in addition to Semak and Sarri, they were Paulo Fonseca (Shakhtar), Marcelo Gallardo (River Plate) and Jorge Sampaoli (Argentina national team) ).

SERGEY SEMAK, 42 YEARS OLD
Citizenship: Russia
Team:"Ufa"
Debut*: 03/01/17, “Ufa” - “Anzhi” (1:0) - Russian Cup
Achievement: 6th place in the RFPL in the 2017/18 season
PROS
The most likely candidate, in whose services the St. Petersburg leadership has been interested since the moment everything became completely clear with Mancini. On Monday, May 14, he visited the Gazprom office.
Even as a football player, Semak proved himself to be a very smart player, who gained his strength not through technique and talent, but through hard work and intelligence. Therefore, he was always loved by fans, no matter where he played. The only team on his resume so far, Ufa, appears the same way - modest, but efficient and tactically well-trained. This is exactly what the current Zenit lacks - daily painstaking work for the benefit of the team, without the accompanying noise and regular self-PR.
In addition, Semak is not a stranger to Zenit - since 2010, not a single blue-white-blue championship has been achieved without his participation. In 2010 and 2012, he won RFPL gold on the football field, and in 2015 - from the coaching bench, where he helped Andre Villas-Boas.
News | Shamil Gazizov: Ufa perceives the possible departure of Semak normallyAbout the appointment Sergei Semak the head coach of Zenit became known a few days ago. A meeting of the new blue-white-blue coach with fans was planned in advance at the club’s base in Udelny Park. On the day the contract was signed, however, it was moved to the Petrovsky Stadium. Because of this, journalists had to rush around the city for half a day, frantically trying to catch Sergei Bogdanovich. We weren’t able to get into the closed meeting with fans, but we managed to talk to Semak after it. After talking with fans, he spent a few minutes with journalists.
- Sergei Bogdanovich, congratulations on your appointment. How was the meeting with the fans?
- Initially, the meeting with fans was planned at the base in Udelny Park, then it was moved to the Petrovsky stadium. The guys asked, I drove up for five minutes, no problems.
- How did the fans receive you?
- If they came to the meeting, it means they accepted my appointment normally. I appreciate their attention. But I understand perfectly well that I am at the very beginning of my journey. There is a lot of work ahead.
- What was the conversation about?
- There are no secrets, what they talked about. General phrases about what fans would like to see did not relate to a deep tactical understanding of football.
– Did you easily agree to Zenit’s offer?
– It’s never easy, any decision is difficult. Of course, for me this is a step forward in my work. The risk is always present, it is never small when it comes to the work of a head coach. There are many additional complications. If you take on something, you should try to do it to the maximum.
- Do you have any idea who will join your coaching staff?
- It’s too early to talk about this. A lot of information in the press was not true. The appointment took place very quickly, with an element of surprise. We'll decide about it soon coaching staff, fees and everything else.
“Everyone is hugging and kissing Semak now. He returned home"
Zenit President Sergei Fursenko on the appointment of Sergei Semak as head coach.
- Is Alexander Nizelik on the list of candidates being considered?
- Naturally he comes in.
- And Alexander Kerzhakov?
- No. I didn’t talk to Sasha about this and didn’t hear anything about it from the managers.
- You first came to negotiations in St. Petersburg about two weeks ago. What happened during this time?
- You know very well that the position of the Zenit management was voiced that I am one of the candidates for the post of head coach of the club. Then there was a meeting, but it was not specific. Last night everything went in a different direction.
Many players will return to Zenit from loan, including Artyom Dzyuba and Oleg Shatov. Do you have any idea about their future?
- Very soon you will find out everything. I have all the information on the players: who is and where they are. Zenit had many players on loan. Very soon you will find out which of them will go to the training camp and which will not.
- When do you plan to have your first training session?
- As planned: on June 15 - medical examination, and on the 17th - departure for the first training camp.
- There is talk that Denisov will return to Zenit. This is true?
- I can’t say anything about possible transfers. It takes time to work, to weigh everything properly. - a top football player, any coach likes his game.
What goals were set by management in terms of results - Champions League and first place or formation new team?
- The tasks will be announced before the season. Of course, our team must fight for the championship and constantly play in the Champions League.
Was there a conversation about the athletic department? Will Vyacheslav Malafeev and Oreste Cinquini stay? Will there be a new one? sports director?
“There was a conversation about everything, but it takes time to analyze everything before making decisions.”
- We understand that you can’t say anything about the players now, but there is one player who...
- Messi? - Semak asked with a smile.
No, Danny said that he was ready to return to Zenit and devote several more years to it. Are you considering his candidacy?
- We are considering all quality players who can strengthen Zenit.

An excerpt characterizing the List of head coaches of FC Zenit (St. Petersburg)
If the commanders had been guided by reasonable reasons, it seemed, how clear it should have been for Napoleon that, having gone two thousand miles and accepting a battle with the probable chance of losing a quarter of the army, he was heading for certain death; and it should have seemed just as clear to Kutuzov that by accepting the battle and also risking losing a quarter of the army, he was probably losing Moscow. For Kutuzov, this was mathematically clear, just as it is clear that if I have less than one checker in checkers and I change, I will probably lose and therefore should not change.When the enemy has sixteen checkers, and I have fourteen, then I am only one-eighth weaker than him; and when I exchange thirteen checkers, he will be three times stronger than me.
Before the Battle of Borodino, our forces were approximately compared to the French as five to six, and after the battle as one to two, that is, before the battle one hundred thousand; one hundred and twenty, and after the battle fifty to one hundred. And at the same time, the smart and experienced Kutuzov accepted the battle. Napoleon, the brilliant commander, as he is called, gave battle, losing a quarter of the army and stretching his line even more. If they say that, having occupied Moscow, he thought how to end the campaign by occupying Vienna, then there is a lot of evidence against this. The historians of Napoleon themselves say that even from Smolensk he wanted to stop, he knew the danger of his extended position, he knew that the occupation of Moscow would not be the end of the campaign, because from Smolensk he saw the situation in which Russian cities were left to him, and did not receive a single answer to their repeated statements about their desire to negotiate.
In giving and accepting the Battle of Borodino, Kutuzov and Napoleon acted involuntarily and senselessly. And historians, under the accomplished facts, only later brought up intricate evidence of the foresight and genius of the commanders, who, of all the involuntary instruments of world events, were the most slavish and involuntary figures.
The ancients left us examples of heroic poems in which the heroes constitute the entire interest of history, and we still cannot get used to the fact that for our human time a story of this kind has no meaning.
To another question: how were the Borodino and Shevardino battles that preceded it fought? There is also a very definite and well-known, completely false idea. All historians describe the matter as follows:
The Russian army allegedly, in its retreat from Smolensk, was looking for the best position for pitched battle, and such a position was allegedly found in Borodin.
The Russians allegedly strengthened this position forward, to the left of the road (from Moscow to Smolensk), at almost a right angle to it, from Borodin to Utitsa, at the very place where the battle took place.
Ahead of this position, a fortified forward post on the Shevardinsky Kurgan was supposedly set up to monitor the enemy. On the 24th Napoleon allegedly attacked the forward post and took it; On the 26th he attacked the entire Russian army standing in position on the Borodino field.
This is what the stories say, and all this is completely unfair, as anyone who wants to delve into the essence of the matter can easily see.
The Russians could not find a better position; but, on the contrary, in their retreat they passed through many positions that were better than Borodino. They did not settle on any of these positions: both because Kutuzov did not want to accept a position that was not chosen by him, and because the demand for a people’s battle had not yet been expressed strongly enough, and because Miloradovich had not yet approached with the militia, and also because other reasons that are innumerable. The fact is that the previous positions were stronger and that the Borodino position (the one on which the battle was fought) is not only not strong, but for some reason is not at all a position more than any other place in Russian Empire, which, when guessing, would be indicated with a pin on the map.
The Russians not only did not strengthen the position of the Borodino field to the left at right angles to the road (that is, the place where the battle took place), but never before August 25, 1812, did they think that the battle could take place at this place. This is evidenced, firstly, by the fact that not only on the 25th there were no fortifications at this place, but that, begun on the 25th, they were not finished even on the 26th; secondly, the proof is the position of the Shevardinsky redoubt: the Shevardinsky redoubt, ahead of the position at which the battle was decided, does not make any sense. Why was this redoubt fortified stronger than all other points? And why, defending it on the 24th until late at night, all efforts were exhausted and six thousand people were lost? To observe the enemy, a Cossack patrol was enough. Thirdly, proof that the position in which the battle took place was not foreseen and that the Shevardinsky redoubt was not the forward point of this position is the fact that Barclay de Tolly and Bagration until the 25th were convinced that the Shevardinsky redoubt was the left flank of the position and that Kutuzov himself, in his report, written in the heat of the moment after the battle, calls the Shevardinsky redoubt the left flank of the position. Much later, when reports about the Battle of Borodino were being written in the open, it was (probably to justify the mistakes of the commander-in-chief, who had to be infallible) that unfair and strange testimony was invented that the Shevardinsky redoubt served as a forward post (while it was only a fortified point of the left flank) and as if the Battle of Borodino was accepted by us in a fortified and pre-chosen position, whereas it took place in a completely unexpected and almost unfortified place.
The thing, obviously, was like this: the position was chosen along the Kolocha River, which crosses the main road not at a right angle, but at an acute angle, so that the left flank was in Shevardin, the right near the village of Novy and the center in Borodino, at the confluence of the Kolocha and Vo rivers yn. This position, under the cover of the Kolocha River, for an army whose goal is to stop the enemy moving along the Smolensk road to Moscow, is obvious to anyone who looks at the Borodino field, forgetting how the battle took place.
Napoleon, having gone to Valuev on the 24th, did not see (as they say in the stories) the position of the Russians from Utitsa to Borodin (he could not see this position, because it did not exist) and did not see the forward post of the Russian army, but stumbled upon the Russian rearguard in pursuit to the left flank of the Russian position, to the Shevardinsky redoubt, and, unexpectedly for the Russians, transferred troops through Kolocha. And the Russians, not having had time to engage in a general battle, retreated with their left wing from the position they had intended to occupy, and took up a new position, which was not foreseen and not fortified. Having moved to the left side of Kolocha, to the left of the road, Napoleon moved the entire future battle from right to left (from the Russian side) and transferred it to the field between Utitsa, Semenovsky and Borodin (to this field, which has nothing more advantageous for the position than any another field in Russia), and on this field the entire battle took place on the 26th. In rough form, the plan for the proposed battle and the battle that took place will be as follows:
If Napoleon had not left on the evening of the 24th for Kolocha and had not ordered an attack on the redoubt immediately in the evening, but had launched an attack the next day in the morning, then no one would have doubted that the Shevardinsky redoubt was the left flank of our position; and the battle would take place as we expected. In this case, we would probably defend the Shevardinsky redoubt, our left flank, even more stubbornly; Napoleon would have been attacked in the center or on the right, and on the 24th a general battle would have taken place in the position that was fortified and foreseen. But since the attack on our left flank took place in the evening, following the retreat of our rearguard, that is, immediately after the battle of Gridneva, and since the Russian military leaders did not want or did not have time to start a general battle on the same evening of the 24th, Borodinsky’s first and main action The battle was lost on the 24th and, obviously, led to the loss of the one fought on the 26th.
After the loss of the Shevardinsky redoubt, by the morning of the 25th we found ourselves without a position on the left flank and were forced to bend back our left wing and hastily strengthen it anywhere.
But not only did the Russian troops stand only under the protection of weak, unfinished fortifications on August 26, but the disadvantage of this situation was increased by the fact that the Russian military leaders did not recognize the completely accomplished fact (the loss of position on the left flank and the transfer of the entire future battlefield from right to left ), remained in their extended position from the village of Novy to Utitsa and, as a result, had to move their troops during the battle from right to left. Thus, during the entire battle, the Russians had twice as weak forces against the entire French army directed at our left wing. (Poniatowski’s actions against Utitsa and Uvarov on the French right flank were actions separate from the course of the battle.)
He leaves, who will replace him is unknown. A budget trainer, ready to work with those who are given? Another top manager who will completely reshuffle the team?
There is no certainty that the team will remain: he wanted to return Zenit’s status the best club countries, but the expenses were not justified. The season is close to a complete failure.
When there is no understanding of who will manage the club and who will manage the team, it is extremely difficult to predict the future of the players. We are only identifying the main issues that will face the new Zenit.
12 players on loan
Of these, only Alexander Ryazantsev’s contract ends; the remaining 11 players can return to the club. Something will need to be done: leave it or add it. It is advisable for the new coach to participate in this process. Colossal work.
- Luis Neto, Fenerbahce
- Ivan Novoseltsev, Arsenal
- Evgeny Chernov, “Tosno”
- Ibragim Tsallagov, Dynamo
- Hernani, Saint-Etienne
- Oleg Shatov, Krasnodar
- Christian Noboa, Rubin
- Arthur Yusupov, Rostov
- Robert Mack, "Paok"
- Artem Dzyuba, Arsenal
- Luka Djordjevic, Arsenal
Goalkeepers and defense
I was already planning to leave Zenit several times, but at the last moment I decided to stay. 27 years old, the status of the second goalkeeper - something needs to change. Most likely, in the summer Lodygin will decide to leave for playing practice.
The captain, who wants to return to his native club Genoa, has already announced his departure from Zenit. The Italian refused to negotiate a contract extension and will leave as a free agent. The loss of the captain, the leader, the most goal-scoring defender of Zenit in history, who can play both on the flank and in the center of defense, is very serious.
He will miss the first part of the next season and has damaged his crosses. Recovery time is 6-9 months. Ivanovich will definitely remain, but the center of defense will still need reinforcement. Although everything depends on the vector of development. Perhaps they will bet on the schoolboy Skrobotov.
Zenit – Dynamo. 2:1. Ilya Skrobotov
It is doubtful that the new Zenit will need, whose transfer cost the club two million euros. During the season he received only 160 minutes of game practice and could hardly count on more in St. Petersburg.
His contract expires in June and he will turn 35 in August. It seems that Zenit and the player want to extend the contract, but this has not happened yet.
Midfield
I came to Zenit under Mancini and won’t want to stay. Back in February and March, Football Italia wrote that the Argentine wanted to leave the club in the summer. Now other media are writing about this, citing Russian sources. There is a demand for Paredes in Italy and he is likely to actually leave. Zenit will bargain desperately, but it is very difficult to contain a player who wants to leave. According to Whoscored, Criscito and Paredes are Zenit's best players this season.
Arsenal – Zenit. 1:1. Leandro Paredes curled the ball into the goal from a corner!
Just as the Argentines came, one after another, they can start and leave. Once Paredes leaves, they will start looking at the exit. They don’t shine anyway, but what happens if they start thinking about leaving? They've probably already started. They all communicate very closely.
Attack
It will only begin to take shape in the summer. He should be back up by August, but he will definitely need some time early in the season. Getting back into shape after crosses is very difficult. New coach will not be able to immediately fully count on the leader of the team’s attacks.
He scored against Zenit and alienated the club that pays his salary from the Champions League. He seemed to prick Mancini, but at the same time he touched the fans and the management on a tangent. Who will like this? How to come back after this?
Mancini was disgraced.
The Italian coach burst into St. Petersburg with a dashing goal from Daler Kuzyaev and super football from Sebastian Driussi. The stands were inspired: the new president brought a champion manager who reveals Russian youth and chooses the right foreign players. There is a gorgeous stadium all around. Ahead is a warm-up victory in the RFPL before a comeback to the Champions League. We'll grab another European Cup on the way. Finally everything will be fine. Yeah.
Mancini eliminated the foul aftertaste from Lucescu's attack. The prolific Argentine forward turned to the second-rate Argentine diaspora, and such a haphazard use of Kuzyaev’s talent is difficult to imagine even under substances. The turn was finally completed by the castling of Dzyuba on Zabolotny. The latter also added fuel to the trolls - with his debut goal in a useless () match against the comatose SKA. If anything, Erokhin even put poker there.
But the club's response to the disaster was extremely adequate. Fursenko prevented hostilities by early dismissal of Roberto, and chooses a new coach together with the people. Zenit announced the shortlist of candidates through the millionth fan at Krestovsky - it’s beautiful. And then, who from this list should be entrusted with the team. This is forward-thinking.
Sergey Semak
pros. Sergei Bogdanovich is a self-evident choice. Zenit does not need trophies and high-profile transfers: first they need to wipe the dirt off their own emblem. The once most soulful team in the league turned into a money bag. Our own students and just Russian guys leave the team with scandals, and mercenaries take their place. Fans have forgotten when a football player made his way into the first team straight from the academy. The club formed a strange connection with politics. The only bright spot is Tymoshchuk's hairstyle on the bench. If Semak appears next to her, her good image can be restored.
There is no doubt about his humanity and guidance. Sergei will find a common language even with the cormorants at Krestovsky. He will not harm or merge prematurely, like Lucescu and Mancini. He won’t put the Russian guy under dubious foreign players and will definitely fit in with the team in front of the judges. Zenit knew that the fans would choose Semak and did the right move, appointing him as if by the hands of fans. With him, there will be no shame in rooting for the St. Petersburg team again. This is the most important thing right now.
Minuses. But, probably, we will have to fight for Semakov’s Zenit through defeats. The result of the young coach at Ufa is extremely worthy in terms of price-quality ratio. But managing a roster with pampered stars with the goal of “win it all” is another matter. This requires either hyper-talent (like Zidane) or experience. Semak has neither one nor the other. But again, are victories really that important?
Probability of appointment: almost certainly
pros. Zenit is such a failure with foreign coaches that taking on a new foreigner means starting a cold war with the fans. But Sarri is almost the only coach in the world whose authority will make St. Petersburg residents forget about passports and citizenship for at least six months. His schemes at Napoli are openly admired by Guardiola and Mourinho, and his name can attract truly great players to Krestovsky. For example, Mertens or Jorginho.
Minuses. Maurizio is insanely expensive. He boldly hinted at his desire to leave Naples, automatically forming a queue of superclubs for his work. Chelsea is trying more actively than the rest - to win the Italian away from Abramovich, you need to shell out a really dangerous amount of money. When bad results(no one is immune) it will be impossible to explain the numbers in Sarri’s contract. Then the Cold War will turn nuclear.
Probability of appointment: first candidate after Semak
Jorge Sampaoli
pros. In the 2016/17 season, Sampaoli and Conte brought back the formation with three defenders. The Argentinean's Sevilla entered the Champions League, and the coach's shares jumped sharply. Jorge was immediately recruited by the Argentina national team. Surely last championship peace for Lionel Messi is a serious matter. Sampaoli's quality is also proven by the fact that the Andalusians went downhill after his departure. This year, Sevilla's peak was defeat by Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final.
Minuses. The Argentine's talent is undeniable. But there is no fundamental difference in class between Sampaoli, Spalletti and even Mancini. The choice of Jorge is another attempt to get trophies in the shortest possible way, and not to build a long-term project through thorns to the stars. If Fursenko again follows the carpet strategy, then Sampaoli may not leave Russia after the World Cup.
Probability of appointment: very unlikely
Paulo Fonseca and Marcelo Gallardo
Minuses. These characters have no clear advantages. What could be dumber than luring the Shakhtar coach almost immediately after Lucescu? Call the no-name from River Plate for the crowd of faded and unloved Argentines. It’s pointless to describe further. Let’s just hope that these guys aren’t actually on the St. Petersburg shortlist. And their names in the voting are another self-irony of Zenit. The blue-white-blues are in perfect order with her.
Probability of appointment: tends to zero
