Viktor Maslov - Gorbunov A.A.

Font-family: Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif; The name of the outstanding football coach Viktor Maslov (1910 - 1977) is not very familiar to current football fans, who are used only to "promoted" names constantly flashing in the press. Meanwhile, maslov is recognized as one of the innovators of this sport, far ahead of his time and laid the foundation of the football, which is played in the 21st century. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, he, a native car manufacturer, essentially created a "dream team" - Moscow's Torpedo, which fell in love with millions of fans - and made it the champion of the USSR, breaking the hegemony of three Moscow clubs - Dynamo, Spartak and CSKA, and then, dismissed from Torpedo, three times led to the championship of Dynamo Kyiv, for many years turning Kiev into the capital of Soviet football. In 2010, the authoritative British edition of "World Soccer" Viktor Maslov - the only one of the Russian specialists! - has been included among the fifty best football coaches of the last half-century. font-size: 16px;
