Official statement of Traktor’s top management
Mikhail Yurevich, Governor of Chelyabinsk Region and member of Traktor’s

new coaching staff are spread by those who want to trouble the team during the
playoffs, the most important time of the season. As far as the prolongation

fruitful cooperation’.
