Russia - SuperLeague 2023/24

Quote from Aro

I am very impressed with Karakut breaking the record! Well done! I wonder what Dinamo Moscow players and managements are thinking now?

The record in “points” and the record in “mistakes”

Parubets' curse

Some positive changes at Dinamo Moscow. Koshkin will be the new coach. He is one of the most exciting Russian coaches and did well at smaller clubs (Sakhalin and Dinamo Metar. Will be interesting to see what he can do with good players.

Team next season:

• setters: Smelenko (sucks for Proton who lost Gatina and Smelenko), Popova-Sinitsyna
• OPP: Goncharova, Yurieva (used to be OH)
• OH: Kapustina, Kupryashkina (probably happy to leave Uralochka...), Shevchuk (not sure about this transfer...), unknown foreigner
• MB: Pushina, Lazarenko, Polyakova, Volodina (17 and probably won't play much)
• libero: Podkopaeva, Khabibrakhmanova

IMHO the last player should be a strong receiver.

Economical roster.
Probably money flow was cut (no CEV cups, main sponsors are under sanctions and not interested to invest more now).

It looks like - no finals (Super Cup, Russian Cup, Championship and Cup of Mayor) next season for Moscow.

IMO Koshkin isn’t ready to win a lot of titles and will be used as a ready scapegoat.

i've read somewhere that goncharova is going to join the farewell tournament of KYK? I'd say, that's like a unicorn. I'm surprised she even agreed.
