The season belongs to Vladislav Shepelev

11 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.

Yegor Glukhov told to find a new club

The manager’s verdict
“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Pyotr Savinov was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the Dinamo St Petersburg dressing room was either.
