The general manager of "Sibir", Viktor Merkulov, discussed whether changes in the coaching staff of the team are possible.

— You are one of those managers who are constantly with the team. Do you feel that the team is currently unsettled?

— There is no unrest within the team. Everything is calm. Everyone understands everything perfectly. No one is upset or relaxed. There are definitely no indifferent people in the team. We continue to work. If we work correctly, the results will come.

— In the KHL, teams often reorganize their coaching staff during unsuccessful streaks. Are any changes planned on your part?

— Time will tell. Everything will depend on the results. We have made adjustments to the coaching staff's work — these are our internal matters. It is not about redistributing duties and areas of responsibility within it; we simply asked the coaches to pay attention to certain aspects and make some changes.

After 25 matches, "Sibir" is in ninth place in the Eastern Conference of the KHL with 23 points.
