‘Karsedo Traveling to Moscow Next Week to Sign’

Published January 3, 2026, 16:15

Despite denials from Paphos sports director Cristiano Giaretta regarding the departure of Spanish coach Daniel Karsedo, reports in Russia persist that Karsedo is close to signing a contract with Spartak Moscow. According to Russian media, Karsedo is expected to travel to Moscow next week to finalize the agreement, which will bring 600,000 euros to Paphos. Karsedo will be on the Paphos bench for the match against Apollon, where he is expected to face questions about his future. The Paphos administration insists that there is no agreement for Karsedo's departure, but reports in Russia continue to claim the opposite. Spartak Moscow reportedly has its sights set on Karsedo to take over the team's technical leadership, as he is considered a capable coach with potential. Paphos, for its part, does not want to lose Karsedo, who has contributed to the team's rise. The situation remains unclear and is expected to become clearer in the coming days, with Karsedo's arrival in Moscow or Paphos's official announcement of his stay.
