Harijs Vitolins will continue working with the national team

The FIHR's first vice-president Roman Rotenberg commented on HC Dynamo Moscow's sacking of coach Harijs Vitolins:

- Dynamo's board decision is their own business - we can't comment on that. Harijs Vitolins will certainly continue working with the Russian national team, at the start of the season we signed a new contract with him. Also, at the start of the new year our head coach Oleg Znarok has a planned trip to watch national team candidates, and Harijs Vitloins will travel with him.
