YURIY KOVTUN | SPARTACUS | DYNAMO 1990X | World Cup 2022 | CHE 1996 | CBP
An honest account from a tough defender. This podcast will shake the old-school spirit of any Spartak fan!
In the KBP studio, Yuri Kovtun talks about his sporting career. Naturally, we mainly ask about the beloved Spartak of 1999-2001, and also try to understand what broke down within the team at the beginning of the 21st century. Why did Spartak cease to be "golden"?
The transfer from Dynamo to Spartak. Russian Championship victories. The Champions League. The 2003 Cup. Management conflicts. Romantsev's resignation. The import of foreign players. The Bormantan scandal. The Rock and Starkov. Here is a direct and honest account of all these events. Naturally, we couldn't ignore the 2022 World Cup, the 1996 European Championship, Dynamo Moscow in the 1990s, his rescue of Dynamo Moscow from the FNL as a coach, and other stages of Yuri Kovtun's career.
