Anzhi Makhachkala is currently facing significant challenges, both in terms of performance on the field and in terms of coaching stability. The abrupt departure of René Meulensteen after only 16 days as head coach is certainly an indication of the turbulent situation within the club.
The fact that the team has only accumulated 2 points after 4 days of the championship is a concerning statistic, and the constant changes in coaching staff may be contributing to the lack of stability and success on the field. The departure of Guus Hiddink and the short tenure of Meulensteen suggest a volatile environment within the club.
Additionally, the uncertainty surrounding Samuel Eto’o’s contract extension and the rumors of management wanting to part ways with him add another layer of complexity to the situation. It’s not uncommon for off-field issues, including contract negotiations and internal conflicts, to impact a team’s on-field performance.
The club will likely need to address these internal challenges, stabilize its coaching staff, and find a way to improve its on-field performance if it hopes to turn the season around and avoid further crises. The coming weeks will be crucial in determining the direction Anzhi Makhachkala takes to address these issues and regain stability.
