The Canadian bench boss, who took charge of the KHL club in July 2025, had previously believed his professional coaching career was over.\n\nIn a recent interview, Hartley described his life after stepping away from the game. He had been content working in hockey schools, contributing to television and radio broadcasts, engaging in business ventures, and enjoying his role as a grandfather. He was certain that chapter of his life was closed.\n\nThe turning point came through the persistent efforts of Lokomotiv's General Manager, Yuri Yakovlev. Hartley revealed that Yakovlev contacted him four times with the job offer. On the first three occasions, Hartley declined, reiterating that his coaching days were behind him. However, Yakovlev's approach was unique and ultimately persuasive.\n\nInstead of focusing on contract details, Yakovlev simply extended a warm invitation, saying, \"Welcome to Yaroslavl.\" This straightforward and heartfelt gesture struck a chord with Hartley, describing it as a \"sting\" that reignited his passion. The coach began to see the pieces of the puzzle fall into place, noting the club's history with coach Brad McCrimmon and its status as a championship-winning team.\n\nHartley emphasized that once he made the decision to join Lokomotiv, he immediately envisioned himself in this role. He acknowledged that some adjustments would be necessary but praised the team's core identity. He described Lokomotiv as a champion team with immense character, a strong tradition of developing its own players, and a deep sense of family.\n\nThe coach's return has already proven fruitful, as Lokomotiv Yaroslavl has advanced to the Gagarin Cup Final in the current season. Hartley's story is one of a retirement interrupted by an irresistible opportunity, a testament to the pull of a storied franchise and the persuasive power of a personal touch in recruitment.\n\nBased on reporting from Чемпионат.com.","news","Bob Hartley explains his surprise return to coaching with Lokomotiv Yaroslavl, detailing how GM Yuri Yakovlev's persistent calls and the club's championship culture convinced him to end his retirement.","327589199500808193","326135624887177216","Championship","0","2026-05-06T21:27:53Z","bob-hartley-reveals-why-he-returned-to-coaching-to-lead-lokomotiv-yaroslavl","Championat","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.championat.com\u002Fhockey\u002Fnews-6459014-bob-hartli-rasskazal-pochemu-vozobnovil-trenerskuyu-kareru-i-vozglavil-lokomotiv.html","326257611806609408","Lokomotiv",[56,59,60,61,62,63,64,65],"326222707169431552","326257539962376192","326257613643714560","326257777523560448","326257792321064960","326257814404075520","326257814563459072",[57,67,68,69,70,71,72,73],"Anderlecht","Como","Hassania Agadir","Al-Wasl FC","Comoros","Hastings United","Histon","Bob Hartley Reveals Why He Returned to Coaching to Lead Lokomotiv Yaroslavl",[76,108,146,178],{"awayTeamId":77,"awayTeamName":78,"body":-1,"category":46,"excerpt":79,"homeTeamId":80,"homeTeamName":81,"id":82,"leagueId":49,"leagueName":50,"matchId":83,"matchName":84,"publishedAt":85,"slug":86,"sourceName":87,"sourceURL":88,"teamId":89,"teamName":90,"teamIds":91,"teamNames":99,"title":107},"326255038148120576","Hibernian","Celtic hold constructive talks with Robbie Keane and plan discussions with Martin O'Neill as manager search continues; Rangers target Hampus Skoglund.","326257567044997120","Rangers","337875415949381633","327053940279480320","Rangers vs Hibernian","2026-06-04T06:36:46Z","why-celtic-talks-keane-o-neill-manager-search","BBC Sport","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.bbc.com\u002Fsport\u002Ffootball\u002Farticles\u002Fcp9pd3l5mp2o?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=rss","326257567011442688","Celtic",[89,80,77,92,93,59,94,95,96,97,98],"326257539333230592","326257546153168896","326255038768877568","326255044473131008","326257590021394432","326222711535702016","326222713142120448",[90,81,78,100,101,67,102,103,104,105,106],"AC Milan","West Ham","Hammarby FF","Hamrun Spartans","Toronto FC","Sweden","Canada","Why Celtic Talks Keane & O'Neill: Manager Search",{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":46,"excerpt":109,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":110,"leagueId":49,"leagueName":50,"matchId":51,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":111,"slug":112,"sourceName":113,"sourceURL":114,"teamId":115,"teamName":116,"teamIds":117,"teamNames":131,"title":145},"France U17 face Belgium in the Euro U17 semi-final on Thursday 4 June at 13:30 CEST, live on L'Equipe Live foot.
