"In Kazakhstan, everyone spoke Russian." A former Russian coach in the KPL isn't afraid of facing a fate similar to Cherchesov's.

— What attracted you to the option with the club from Tajikistan?
— Trust. The club president was waiting for me since the summer. He called me the day after I left "Shinnik," we discussed the terms, and shook hands.

— Stanislav Cherchesov has faced language issues in Kazakhstan. Are you concerned about the language barrier? Are you ready to learn Tajik?
— I’ll give it a try, but I’ll start with “salam aleikum” (laughs). As far as I know, many guys on the team speak Russian. In Kazakhstan, by the way, all my players communicated in Russian. Cherchesov was asked a question in another language during a press conference. I believe there won't be any problems with that in Tajikistan. First, I need to get there, and then we can draw conclusions, — said Cheryshev.

Let’s remember that from 2014 to 2015, Dmitry Cheryshev was in charge of Pavlodar's "Irtysh" in the CPL.
