Russian Club Makes a Huge Decision Against Foreign Players Amidst Ukraine Crisis

Soccer is the biggest sport on the planet and certainly one of the most popular sports in Europe. However, in the end, it is just a game and many things come above it in the terms of importance.

All sorts of sports have been stopped in both of the countries as the world watches the ongoing global crisis closely. Football hasn’t been spared either, as both the Russian and the Ukrainian leagues have been stopped. However, there were several foreign players playing in both countries, and that seems to have become a huge problem.

FC Krasnodar gives its foreign players a way out of Russia

Russian Premier League club, Krasnodar, has agreed to let its foreign players leave the club. They have given their players the option of deciding to terminate their contract with the club, just 24 hours after their manager, Daniel Farke, left.

The former Norwich City manager and his entire coaching staff left the club after tensions rose in Ukraine. He didn’t manage a single game for the club, as their matches were postponed. However, Krasnodar’s foreign players have a big decision to make as leaving the club would leave them without any jobs.

Still, players like Remy Cabella and Poland international, Grzegorz Krychowiak, are certainly leaving the club. Big money signing Jhon Cordoba will be allowed to leave the club too, despite only coming over from FC Koln recently.

Daniel Farke leaves Krasnodar due to European conflict

Farke’s departure will have a huge impact on the club, but he’s not the only RPL manager to leave his club because of the ongoing conflict. Lokomotiv Moscow manager, Markus Gisdol, resigned from his post for the same reason as the former Norwich City man.

“Krasnodar and Daniel Farke terminated the contract by mutual agreement. Together with the German coach, his assistants Edmund Riemer, Chris Domogalla and Christopher John leave the club,” the club statement said.
