The foreign trainer invited to Kazakhstan after the Olympic Games in London, it replaced on this post of the silver prize-winner of the Beijing Olympic Games of Askhat Zhitkeev.

Now Ermek Imanbekov working with a youth team became the head coach of a national team. The official reasons of such shifts didn't appear, but it became clear, what not the last role in Velich's leaving was played by the judoists dissatisfied with his methods.

Athletes and their personal instructors considered that the German expert found too much time for gymnastics and acrobatic preparation.

"Yes, Velich helps us as the trainer-consultant, - new coach of the team Imanbekov told, - to any councils we listen. It seriously doesn't interfere with training process. We after all have some experience. Working in "youth team", we prepared prize-winners and champions of world and Asian championships".

To the country Imanbekov didn't answer a question of the reasons of removal of Velich and expediency of his invitation:

"It is questions need to be asked not to trainers, and judo Federation".

Let's remind, a week ago Kazakhstan citizens under the leadership of Imanbekov brought a gold medal from the prestigious tournament "World Masters" which took place in Tyumen.
