MOSCOW, April 26 (Reuters) - Alania Vladikavkaz's Alexander Averyanov has become the second Russian premier division coach to quit within a week and the third in the last 12 days.
'I have made a decision to quit, based most of all on the
interests of the team,' Averyanov was quoted as saying by
Sport-Express newspaper on Thursday.
Alania are second from bottom with just three points from
six matches.
Anatoly Baidachny quit Chernomorets Novorossiisk over the
weekend to join fellow premier division strugglers Rostselmash
Rostov.
Dynamo Moscow coach Valery Gazzayev resigned on April 14
following his team's 2-1 defeat by city rivals Lokomotiv.
Another coach, Rostov's Sergei Balakhnin, lost his job this
month when he was sacked after his club's run of poor form.
In a coaching merry-go-round, former Spartak Moscow reserve
coach Viktor Zernov has been appointed to guide Chernomorets,
who are third from bottom with four points.
Meanwhile, Russian media reported that Gazzayev, who led
Alania to the 1995 league title, was about to rejoin the
Vladikavkaz side.
