On March 1, Beijing time, 52-year-old German coach Giesdor confirmed that he had resigned as the manager of Lokomotiv Moscow, and the two sides parted ways after only 4 months of cooperation.
Gisdor has coached veteran Bundesliga teams such as Hoffenheim, Hamburg and Cologne. He was fired from Cologne in April last year, and after six months at home, he received an invitation from Lokomotiv Moscow to become the new coach of Lokomotiv Moscow on October 16.
In the four months he coached Lokomotiv Moscow, Gisdor led the team with a total of only 12 games, 3 wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats, with a winning percentage of only 25%. In the Europa League group stage, Lokomotiv Moscow scored only 1 point in 4 rounds, 1 draw and 3 losses under his coaching, and finally finished out with 2 points in 6 rounds. In the Russian Premier League, Gisdor's team results are 3 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses, Moscow Lokomotiv was the third place in the league last season, and now they can only rank 7th in the Russian Premier League. Even more ironically, Gisdol almost relegated the team when he took Cologne last season. But after firing Gisdor, Cologne has become a strong contender for Champions League qualification this season, trailing Bundesliga-4th Leipzig by just four points after 24 rounds.
Commenting on the reasons for leaving Lokomotiv Moscow, Gisdor said: "Being a football coach is the best job in the world for me, but I can't stay here any longer because it's not in line with my values. That's why I resigned as manager. ”
In addition to German coach Gisdor, another Ukrainian coach also left the Russian Premier League. Today, Dynamo Moscow officially announced the termination of his contract with 42-year-old Ukrainian assistant coach Voronin.
