Rostov coach Valeri Karpin believes Sergei Pesiakov made a mistake by leaving the club.

Pesiakov joined Rostov in 2017 and was a key member of the team that won the Russian Premier League title in 2018. He left the club in 2021 to join Rubin Kazan.

“I think Sergei made a mistake by leaving Rostov,” Karpin said. “He was a very important player for us and he could have helped us achieve even more success.

“I wish him all the best at Rubin Kazan, but I believe he would have been better off staying at Rostov.”

Pesiakov has been capped 10 times by Russia and was part of the squad that reached the quarter-finals of the 2018 World Cup.

He has made 13 appearances for Rubin Kazan this season and has helped the team to fourth place in the Russian Premier League table.
