The Russian Football Union (RFU) has dismissed plans to introduce a tax on foreign coaches, calling the idea impractical and counterproductive.

The **Russian Premier League** has seen a surge in foreign coaching appointments in 2026, with managers from Spain, Italy, and Brazil leading some of the league’s most successful teams. Clubs like **Spartak Moscow** and **Lokomotiv Moscow** have invested heavily in international coaching staff to refine their squads ahead of the upcoming Champions League qualifiers. Pivovarov’s stance suggests that the RFU is prioritizing long-term development over short-term political gestures, ensuring that Russian football remains competitive on the global stage while gradually building domestic coaching capabilities.
