Vladimir Leonov confirmed as CEO for FC Rubin. Part 1
The Supervisory Board of FC Rubin has unanimously chosen Vladimir Leonov, who previously served as Director General of the of the Executive Directorate for the 27th Summer Universiade 2013 in Kazan, as the football club's next chief executive officer. The decision was announced on Tuesday, December 24, by FC Rubin President Valery Sorokin.
"I must inform you of the decisions made regarding the club life. Vladimir Aleksandrovich Leonov's nomination has been presented to the Supervisory Board. The Supervisory Board approved the nominee to fill the position of the CEO of FC Rubin. One of the first tasks assigned to Vladimir Aleksandrovich will be to complete the reforming of the club's structure. There is no need to introduce Vladimir Aleksandrovich, for the simple reason that we all remember well that this summer we had such a major event as the Universiade, with which Vladimir Aleksandrovich has a lot to do, therefore he is recognisable in the world of sports, not only at the local level but also at the federal one, which is important. The club's executive team and the Supervisory Board expect that Vladimir Aleksandrovich will be an ideal candidate for this position and will cope with the responsibilities that will be assigned to him. Apart from such a routine work as reorganisation of the club structure, which may seem a little bit boring to fans, we expect that Vladimir Aleksandrovich will be able to put his rich experience to good use for the development of fan relations, for which we are rightly criticised," said FC Rubin President, Valery Sorokin, to the club's press office.
