Wilfredo Leon Confirms Zenit Kazan Exit

With Earvin Ngapeth’s announcement he is joining Kazan, Wilfredo Leon confirms the news he is leaving Zenit after 4 seasons winning almost everything.

Leon’s statement:

“I want to officially inform that I have decided not to renew my contract with Zenit Kazan.

I would like to thank the Club and the Coach for creating the perfect conditions for my sport development. In this wonderful Club, I achieved titles that I was dreaming of – I won the Russian Championship, the Russian Cup, the Russian Super Cup, CEV Champions League, as well as the Club World Championship.

This season we are facing two more challenges – the playoffs of the Russian Championships and the final of CEV Champions League. As a professional I guarantee that I will give all my skills and heart to win in these competitions. The day of the CEV Champions League final match is my daughter’s first birthday, so winning would be the best gift.

I part my ways with Zenit in friendship. We do not rule out further cooperation in the future.

Best regards to Zenit fans – thank you for your support for all these years. Keep your fingers crossed for me in the future.”
