The President of the Russian Football Union, Alexander Dyukov, spoke with "SE" about the comments made by Italy's head coach, Luciano Spalletti, who mentioned the unfairness of FIFA and UEFA towards Russia.
“I haven’t communicated with Luciano Spalletti since our team's suspension. How did I perceive his words? In principle, he is right,” Dyukov told “SE”.
Spalletti managed Zenit from 2009 to 2014. Under his leadership, the blue-white-blue team won the Russian championship twice.
