The book about the head coach of CSKA and the Russian national football team Leonid Slutsky, published by the leading sports journalist and writer of Russia Igor Rabiner, proves: we don’t know this seemingly such a public person at all. The story of his work at Olimpia Volgograd alone - from the recruitment of guys, two of whom became bronze medalists of Euro 2008, to the betrayal of his best friend and the burned car of the coach - is a fascinating detective story. A dozen and a half of Rabiner's interlocutors - from Slutsky himself and his mother to CSKA President Evgeniy Giner - reconstruct the entire dramatic picture of the transformation of a 22-year-old Volgograd graduate student, who wanted to teach children to play football, into the strongest coach in the country, into the first national team boss in history who did not play professional level. And unique photos from the home archive make the picture even more complete. This is not just a biography, but a documentary novel.
