Shakhtar Director of Football Darijo Srna in an interview with Profootball commented on the criticism of the team's new head coach Igor Jovićević.
Dario Srna— His invitation was an initiative of the club. A coach who suits Shakhtar with his style. He showed his work in Dnipro-1, Karpaty, Dynamo Zagreb. He deserves to be at Shakhtar.
- It seemed that there is a conflict between the clubs now, because Dnipro-1 made an official statement about how Jovicevich left the team. What is the reaction to all this?
- Yes, what is the reaction? We couldn't steal anyone. Jovicic's contract expired on June 30. This is the only truth. This document can be seen by any football person. That is why we are calm. I will not descend to the level of "Dnepr-1", to answer someone. We are Shakhtar, we are only moving forward.
— What can Jovicevich give to the team? There are no Brazilians, more Ukrainianized composition. What are the tasks for a coach?
- It will be difficult for him, we help. I am sure that together there will be success. A new young team is being built. It takes time and patience. I assure you, Shakhtar will be where it deserves to be.
— Where is the best place to conduct UPL?
- I think we will play in Kyiv, Lviv, and Warsaw.
