“The brand new DT sealed his contract until June 2024 and is already directing his first practice at Independiente,” the Avellaneda club reported on its social networks.
Zielinski will make his debut next Sunday at 4:30 p.m. as a local in the classic against Racing – the club of which he was the coach – for the 12th. Professional League date.
“I try to play at home and away in the same way. My teams were always protagonists. I adapt to the players there are. Sometimes you push hard, sometimes not, sometimes you have to defend more than on other occasions”said the “Russian” Zielinski on La Red radio.
“It seems to me that it has a good squad, we can improve it. There is a lot of scope for improvement. I hope to join and get to know the club. It is not up there with Boca or River, but we can fight for an international cup,” said the coach .
Independiente won just one game in the championship, has nine points after 11 games in the Professional League and is close to relegation in the general table.
In addition, at the beginning of the week he was left without a president because Fabian Doman he resigned and Néstor Grindetti, mayor of Lanús now on leave, took over temporarily, who must call an Extraordinary Assembly within 90 days.
In this context, Zielinski took charge of the team with the idea of raising it to avoid a second relegation in its history.
“Now we think about what’s to come, in Racing. We’ll see the transfer market in the middle of the year, things will settle down little by little. My concern and occupation is to generate calm, return to normality and win to work calmer”he pointed.
Zielinski has a long career in Argentine soccer, with a last positive step for Estudiantes de La Plata although and a bad campaign at Nacional de Montevideo that quickly ended his experience in Uruguay.
In turn, the “Russian” is remembered for making history with Belgrano de Córdoba: he sent River to the B Nacional in the 2011 promotion and won promotion with the “Pirata”. Also for the good campaigns with Atlético Tucumán, whom he led to his first Libertadores cups.
“It doesn’t make sense to go with an idea if we don’t have the interpreters for that. In the world that discussion has already passed, but in Argentina it still happens. The soccer teams work together. You have to be solid and everything depends on the interpreters. I will see and I will speak with the players to arrive at the best possible system”, he sentenced.
