FC Terek Grozny are starting their first winter camp in Belek, Turkey on 6 January. Midfielder Levani Gvazava is not going to be among the squad to start winter preparations.

The player expressed his willingness to change the club as his contract is running out in summer 2012. FC Terek Grozny coach Stanislav Cherchesov in his interview with the official website of FC Terek Grozny commented upon Gvazava’s possible transfer to another team.

“Gvazava appeared in all six games with me as the coach and he had to sit out one game as he was overbooked. I can provide my best references to this player. We have to understand that people may want to change the environment in certain situations. It was after our away game against CSKA in Moscow that Gvazava came up to me and expressed his willingness to change the team at the end of the year. I asked him to take time to think as he still had time to make his mind on the issue. But nevertheless, I was informed through the player’s agent that Levani would like to change the environment now. This is particularly motivated by the contract running out in summer. We respect the player’s opinion anyway and did not make any objections. This is why we took our steps towards finding midfielders and signed Adilson and Oleg Ivanov. Levani will be with reserves in Kislovodsk for the first camp, while examining proposals from other teams with his agent. I wish him every luck in private life and further football career”, said Stanislav Cherchesov.

Defender Sergey Omelyanchuk is also parting ways with Terek. Stanislav Cherchesov said he had a phone conversation with the Belarussian defender and parties reached mutual understanding.
