FC Sochi, led by Spanish coach Robert Moreno (48), was infuriated after his team lost 0-4 in the second round of the Russian Premier League in the 2025-2026 season against Akron Tollity at the Fisit Stadium in Sochi, Russia on the 27th (local time).
Sochi dedicated three goals in the 13th minute of the game. In the previous opening match against Lokomotiv Moscow, they lost 0-3 by giving up three goals in the last 10 minutes of the second half. Moreno couldn't hold back his anger as the team showed signs of collapsing quickly from the beginning of the season.
Moreno finally asked the players to return their salaries (donations). He said "Players should return at least half their salaries. I'll return half of it, too. If it's not possible under the contract, I'll donate it. We don't deserve this salary.'
"The last 10 minutes of the last game and the first 10 minutes of this game were really disgraceful. We don't deserve this salary. I'm more ashamed than ever throughout my coaching career. Shame on you, shame on you. I want to apologize to the club, the coaches, and the board of directors above all else"

A former amateur player, Moreno began his professional career as a head coach for Barcelona Scout, Rome, Celta Vigo and Barcelona led by Enrique. He took charge of AS Monaco in 2019 and started as a solo player, but was dismissed in one season with a 9th-place finish in the French league. Six months after his appointment to Granada in 2021, he suffered a hard time.
Moreno, who moved to Russia in 2023 and took charge of Sochi, failed to prevent relegation from the second division of the first season, but put the team back in the first division in one season.
