Yesterday, on August 6, head coach of the Ukrainian national team Oleksandr Petrakov turned 65 years old. On behalf of Dynamo Kyiv, the president of the club, Igor Surkis, congratulated the birthday boy.
Alexander PetrakovDear Alexander Vasilyevich!
On this festive day, from all Dynamo players and from me personally, please accept our sincere congratulations and best wishes!
Let me express my gratitude to you for your professionalism, dedication to football and productive work on the coaching bridge, to which you have devoted almost three decades.
You have gone through a difficult path from a novice specialist to the head coach of the national team of our country. In the history of our football, you will forever remain the first coach who won the World Cup with one of the Ukrainian national teams.
But the greatest value of your work is dozens of football players who have progressed and reached a new level in their careers under your leadership. Both as players and as individuals, which is no less important.
It is a great honor for Dynamo that the world champion coach and mentor of the national team of Ukraine left his mark on the history of our club.
On this festive day, I want to wish you peace in Ukraine, good health, inspiration and professional success!
Sincerely,
Igor SURKIS
President of FC Dynamo (Kyiv)
