Razin's wife linked his suspension to the dissatisfaction of one player

Andrei Razin's wife stated that his removal from work at Metallurg was due to the dissatisfaction of one hockey player.

Club director Alexei Zhloba said that Razin’s suspension is not final and is aimed at stopping the escalation and assessing the situation in the team.

According to Zhloba, negotiations between coaches and players to resolve the situation were unsuccessful.

MOSCOW, October 9 - RIA Novosti. Tatyana Razina, the wife of Andrei Razin, stated that the specialist’s removal from work at Metallurg Magnitogorsk was due to the dissatisfaction of one hockey player, and the official version of an intra-team conflict does not correspond to reality.

On Tuesday, Metallurg decided to suspend Razin from work. According to club director Alexei Zhloba, the suspension is not final, but allows the escalation to be stopped and the situation in the team to be assessed without outside pressure. Zhloba added that negotiations between coaches and players to resolve the situation in a working manner were unsuccessful, which left no room for compromise.

“A masterpiece, I think! Well, briefly for those who don’t know: Andrei was removed from his position, although the team is in first place. The official version that there is a conflict in the team is not true. There is just one dissatisfied player. Well... It happens,” Razina wrote in her Telegram channel.

Earlier, Razin, using obscene language, sharply answered a journalist’s question about the performance of the team’s striker Vladimir Tkachev. Later, the coach again used obscene language, commenting on the media reaction to his previous statements about the hockey player, and also advised the player to “stick his ego in.” At the end of September, the forward missed two team matches, reportedly due to illness. Last season, Tkachev became Metallurg's top scorer and assistant in the regular season, scoring 71 points (13 goals + 58 assists) in 66 matches.
