The Coach (2018)

In the pulsating heart of contemporary Russia, Yuri Stoleshnikov, the valiant captain of the national soccer team, fails to convert a critical penalty kick during the last nerve-racking minutes of a decisive World Cup qualifier match against Romania. The weight of his failure is magnified when he lashes out, knocking an opponent, arguing with the referee, and inciting a brawl with the riled-up spectators. His fiery outburst earns him a red card, effectively sealing Russia's fate as they lose 0-1. Consequently, Stoleshnikov is slapped with an annual disqualification and forced to exit the much-revered "Spartak". Haunted by the match that ended his career, Stoleshnikov spirals into a two-year limbo, unable to find a job or shake off his disgrace. But, as the dust of his past begins to settle, an unexpected lifeline comes his way. He is offered a chance at redemption in the form of a coaching position for "Meteor", an underdog team from the coastal city of Novorossiysk, vying in the second league of the Russian championship. Can this fallen hero rise from the ashes of his past and lead this humble team to unexpected glory? "The Coach" is a gripping tale of resilience and redemption set against the backdrop of Russia's vibrant soccer scene, where the line between victors and vanquished is as thin as a blade of grass on the playing field.

The Coach is a drama movie featuring Danila Kozlovsky.
