Behind the Scenes of Juan Carlos Carcedo's Departure from Pafos FC

There is significant background to Juan Carlos Carcedo's departure from Pafos FC. The Spanish coach is leaving the team, despite its successes (winning the Cup and Championship, qualifying for the Champions League group stage), to take over Spartak Moscow, a team that is not eligible to participate in European competitions due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Carcedo's decision raises questions, and statements are expected from both Pafos FC and the coach himself to explain their moves.
