Riancho worked in Ukraine for some time.
Spanish football coach Raul Riancho < "I believe that after such a statement by UEFA, the legionnaires will lose the desire to play in the RPL. This is a serious blow to all of Russian football. I feel sorry for the athletes, who are in this unpleasant situation. They are not guilty of anything, "Riancho was quoted as saying by Izvestia.
It will be recalled that the 62-year-old Spaniard worked for Dynamo Kyiv from 2014 to 2016, when he was assistant Sergei Rebrov.
After the contract, the specialist accepted the invitation of UAF and joined the coaching staff of the national team.
Then Riancho joined the coaching staff of Moscow “Spartak”, where he was first assistant Massimo Carrera , and then coached the team as acting head coach.
On February 24, Russian President Putin made an urgent statement to hold a joint social military operation on the territory of Ukraine, launching a large-scale invasion of Ukrainian cities.
After that, Russian sport began to plunge into complete isolation. In fact, there are no federations left that have excluded the Russians from their competitions.
