During the Soviet period, Russian football brought forward many outstanding coaches. This book tells about the most reputable and successful of them. The lives of these people, both in football and off the field, were by no means smooth. Everyone has experienced ups and downs, and there have been injustices that could not but affect coaching fates. Nevertheless, they were people with a strong character and spirit, who found the strength to overcome difficulties and continued to selflessly serve their cause. The names of the book's characters are well known to many football fans, but only a few are familiar with the twists and turns of their lives, which are without embellishment, without gloss, as was typical of the publications of former years, says the author of the book.
