Mohammedan SC has officially announced the recruitment of Andrey Alekseyvich Chernyshov as their new Head Coach for the upcoming season.
Who is Chernyshov?
Chernyshov is a 53 years old, UEFA Pro licensed manager of Russian origins. He has more than twenty years experience of coaching at club and international level in a total of seven countries. Though, he is quite unfamiliar with Indian football circuit.
In 1990, Chernyshov helped the Soviet Union National Youth Team to win the UEFA European Under-21 Championship. He also represented the Commonwealth of Independent States at UEFA Euro ’92.
He continued his pursuit of football after his retirement. Chernyshov became manager of Russia at the under-21 level in August 2002. Later on, he worked at various clubs like Spartak Moscow, Dinamo Tbilisi, Vitebsk, Dynamo Bryansk, and Akzhayik.
Secretary Speaks
Danish Iqbal, the interim General Secretary of Mohammedan Sporting Club, while giving his reaction about the arrival of Chernyshov, said:
“We are excited to bring Andrey Chernyshov onboard as Head Coach and believe he has the perfect credentials to bring success to our club. Along with his experience of coaching at the highest level in various leagues and countries, Chernyshov also possesses proven expertise in unearthing and nurturing youngsters.

Expectations
Mohammedan Sporting Club had an arguably unsuccessful campaign in the 2020-21 season of I-League. They finish on the fourth spot on the table with only 4 wins in 10 games. With this new management coming in, Mohammedan fans will surely expect a quick transition in their performance for the upcoming season of I-League.
