Sergei's arrival at BRE has been met with mixed results, leaving initial doubts about the manager's ability to achieve the long-awaited promotion.

The season started promisingly. As luck would have it, Sergei's debut with BRE was in a double-header cup tie against his previous team in the competition, EDI (formerly BUC).
The team advanced to the next round against a higher-ranked opponent.

Reality hit on the opening weekend of the league. The team's cup struggles resulted in only one point from two matches, a run exacerbated by the resounding cup defeat to SRA.

League wins against ABE and EST have calmed the waters, but they were tight, and show that the team is still adapting to the new manager's demands, with many changes to the squad and playing style.
