Vyacheslav Bykov linked to KHL’s Barys Astana

Former head coach of Salavat Yulaev and Russian national team Vyacheslav Bykov may take charge of KHL club Barys Astana, after they dismissed Bykov’s former teammate at CSKA, USSR and Fribourg, Andrey Khomutov.

According to Shayba.kz, Bykov is ready to begin the talks and even arrived in the capital of Kazakhstan today.

Meanwhile, Bykov himself didn’t confirm the reports.

«I see our Internet works tirelessly. A week ago they allegedly saw me in Ufa, now it’s Astana. Once again, Bykov is roped in without knowing! In fact, I am now in Switzerland, watching TV. I can even make the sound louder – if that would convince you...»

«Did anyone from Barys call you?»

«No, there were no signals. As well as from Salavat, by the way,» Bykov said as quoted by Sport-Express.
