Andrey Fedorov is confirmed as a new senior figure in the recruitment department of Lokomotiv
Lokomotiv have given Andrey Fedorov a senior role in recruitment department.
- I have been in charge of Rubin recruitment department for many years and I am glad to return to work in this field. I am very pleased that I was invited by such a big club. We will make every effort to ensure that Lokomotiv develops and is always in the leading positions. My last job was also at Lokomotiv (Tashkent).. The city has changed, but not the name of the team. I stayed with the railway - it is very nice and symbolic.
The job is multifaceted: it is necessary to take into account the preferences of the head coach, the strategy and capabilities of the club and to manage issues collectively. Lokomotiv has enough young players who will be able to strengthen the first team in the future, so it is necessary to work closely with the Academy.
