FC Pari NN may change its sporting director.

      14 October 2025, 17:00 Sport. At FC "Pari Nizhny Novgorod" further changes in leadership may occur. According to the Telegram channel "Mutko Protiv" (almost 65,000 subscribers), the club is actively looking for a candidate to replace sporting director Aleksandr Udaltsov.

      The possible resignation is attributed to the team's unsatisfactory results, as well as the difficult situation with head coach Aleksei Shpilevsky. The Belarusian specialist's contract provides for large severance payments, which makes his dismissal extremely difficult even if the club intends to do so.

      According to the source, "Pari NN" has already conducted a number of interviews with potential successors to Udaltsov. Among them is former CSKA sporting director Andrei Movsesyan, who, it is claimed, is also of interest to Moscow's Spartak.

      However, Movsesyan himself denied negotiations with the Nizhny Novgorod club in a comment to Match TV. He said that "Pari NN" had not approached him with a job offer.

      Nevertheless, the likelihood of personnel changes remains high.

      Recall that in September David Melik-Guseinov left the club, and his position was taken by Vasily Karasev. Rumors of his possible dismissal had been circulating since the summer.

      It was earlier reported that a commission of the Russian Football Union highly rated the condition of the turf at Sovcombank Arena. "Pari NN" will continue the season at its home stadium.
