But the season of 2007 was a disaster for the Kazan club. The team took the 10th place at the end of the championship. As a consequence, the management of "Rubin" conducts serious rotation in the club. As a result of the selection work, such players as Savo Milosevic, Sergei Semak, Sergey Rebrov, Roman Sharonov come to the team . All of them had a great experience of performing at the highest level.

The starting segment of the championship showed that "Rubin" aimed at performing the highest tournament tasks.

According to the results of the Russian championship of 2009, "Rubin" became the champion for the second time, ahead of the nearest pursuer, which was Moscow's "Spartak", by 8 points, and Ryazantsev himself was also awarded the first personal recognition. He was included in the list of "33 best footballers of the Championship of the country".

In 2011, he holds the 100th match for the Kazan club. At the duel with "Rostov" Alexander leads the team as a captain. And yet the time of his stay in the "Ruby" is already considered. In 2013, he notifies the club management that after the expiration of the contract is going to leave the team.
