Lokomotiv Moscow is considering appointing Kurban Berdyev as head coach, according to Sport-Express citing football agent Timur Gurtskaya.
Gurtskaya said that one candidate was floating in the air, although he did not believe in it himself. He added that he heard out of the corner of his ear about conversations regarding Berdyev.
According to the agent, inviting Stanislav Cherchesov from Akhmat would be a more logical step for the club. He noted that no discussions are taking place regarding Dmitry Khokhlov.
