Overview
When the provincial football club Krasny Yastreb remains without a coach before the start of the season in the Russian Premier League, its CEO Anton Danin, bypassing sponsors, appoints Elena Volkova, a talented Muscovite who led her Saiga team to the Champions League, to this position. Now she is the first female coach in men's sports. But Elena will get a cold reception in the city. Because football here is an exclusively male world.
