Chelyabinsk team closed down its coaching staff right after the playoffs ended. The team performed poorly during the regular season, finishing sixth in the Eastern Conference. This result was enough for them to qualify for the Gagarin Cup. However, in the first round, the team faced a strong opponent from Kazan’s Ak Bars. The match ended in a crushing defeat for Chelyabinsk, with a score of 1-4. The management of Traktor decided to terminate Koreshkov’s contract. Now, the team needs to find a coach who can establish a stable game plan, bring the team back into the top ranks of the conference, and truly fight for a trophy next year. The reorganization of the team’s management will begin immediately. It is expected that the name of the new coach will be announced in the coming weeks.
