The saga begins on March 26, just days after the end of the World Cup. The President of the Federation Ukrainian Volodimir Brynzak announced that it has reached a verbal agreement with Ricco Gross, who will become & agrave; head coach of the women's team.
German & egrave; expected in Kiev on April 7 to sign the contract. However the 'deal jumps Because & egrave; April 3 the same Brynzak reveals that Gross gave up all''incarico saying that "circumstances have changed" and adding caustically that "must have received un''offerta better."
At the same time Russia comes news that the highly decorated quarantatreenne & egrave; It was "spotted" in Tyumen, during the national championships and was in talks with the Russian Federation.
The federal president Alexander Kravtsov and the head of the teams of the World Cup Aleksander Tikhonov did not deny the news. Indeed, the second goes back on the words of a few days before ("we do not need foreign technicians") praising Gross.
Start a "fast and loose" on the signing of the contract by the Teutonic, although to date imminent, does not come Because & egrave; It must resolve unspecified "issues related to its military body." Gross & egrave fact; in effect a member of the Bundeswehr, the 'German army.
However on May 6th the 'Russian head coach Aleksander Kaspiarovich, nell''annunciare the composition of the working groups and technical staff in view dell''inverno 2015 -' '16, put the four-time Olympic champion from the coaches that will follow males pi & ugrave; strong, including Evgeny Garanichev and Dmitry Malyshko.
All over? No way. On May 15, the DSV formalizes their teams and among the technicians appears just Ricco Gross, confirmed as head of the working group 1B male.
So now the three-time world champion dell''inseguimento & egrave; considered an employee of two different federations (Germany and Russia).
By way of speculation one can & ograve; Gross speculate that intends to leave Germany Since & eacute ;, although the 'episode & egrave; never been officially confirmed, rumors say that in January during the stage of Ibu Cup in Ridnauntal would have had a heated argument with Gerald H & ouml; nig, head coach of the women's team Teutonic, with the 'use of Miriam G & ouml; ssner as topic clutch.
Other items give an ailing Gross & agrave; on the professional level for events dating back to the 2013 season - '' 14, when it collaborated with H & ouml; nig in the management of the women's team.
One wonders if now is still considered a technical DSV pro-forma, waiting to resolve its position with the Bundeswehr, or if Germany is being impuntando to retain 'coach.
How can & ograve; note the situation & egrave; ingarbugliatissima and then developments are expected in the near future.
