Recall that during the press conference following the Nations League match against Slovenia, a journalist asked the coach a question in Kazakh, to which Cherchesov replied, "Are you speaking in French right now?". This statement from the Russian coach sparked public outcry, leading to the KFF imposing a fine of 738,400 tenge on Cherchesov.
