Amkar Perm have fired their Serbian coach Slaboljub Muslin, the Russian Premier League club said Tuesday.
"We came to a unanimous decision that we would terminate Slaboljub Muslin's contract because he was not getting the results that were needed this season," Amkar said on their website.
The 61-year-old Muslin, who previously coached French club Girondins Bordeaux and Red Star Belgrade, took charge of Amkar before the start of this season. They have collected 12 points from 16 matches and are just one place above the relegation zone.
The Russian season is just starting its winter break, with Amkar's next fixture in March against Torpedo Moscow.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
