Journalist Fatih Sabovic reports that the team has met with current Zenit St Petersburg coach Xavi Pascual's older brother, who is also his agent. The team was left with a positive view of the coach, according to the Turkish journalist.

It was previously reported that another coach currently residing in Russia, Dimitris Itoudis, is viewed as a primary candidate for the job. While the current Greek national team coach is still the main option, Pascual's candidacy is not being disregarded.

Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv are also reportedly interested in the Spanish coach.

Pascual has been coaching Zenit since 2020. The coach signed a contract extension in the April of last year to stay in the club until 2023.
