CSKA Moscow sack head coach Julius Supler

HC CSKA Moscow have decided to part company with the Slovak coach Julius Supler, who took charge of the team during the midterm. The Slovak’s temporary replacement will be the current assistant, Vyacheslav Butsaev.

Since Supler’s appointment CSKA earned 68 points in the regular season and qualified for the play-offs.

«I just arrived to work in the morning and they told me I am not the head coach anymore,» Suppler told P-Sport upon discovering he’d been sacked. «They informed the team as well. I said farewell, thanked the lads for their effort and wished them luck. That’s it. I don’t have much to say, except that currently we are going through some clauses of my contract with CSKA’s management.»
