Former Shakhtar striker Oleksiy Belik, who currently works as a coach of the Pitmen's youth team, spoke about his desire to lead the first team.
Alexey Belik“Would I like to head Shakhtar? I hoped that this would happen right now, before Jovicevich, but I was a little unlucky. But seriously, I don’t want to think and talk about deadlines. For me, this is a big goal and you need to move towards it in small steps.
In principle, if you take my biography, I am a guy who has lived all his life in Ukrainian Donetsk, dreamed of playing for Shakhtar all the time, fulfilled his dream and is still a fan of the team. I think people who understand football will draw their own conclusions about where my path lies... Today, I work in the U-19 coaching staff.
Would I accept an invitation from the UPL team to lead it? Everything would depend on a personal conversation with representatives of this club. It is not so important what part of the standings the team is from, how important it is to understand the mood of the leaders and to feel whether the opportunities coincide with the ambitions. If my vision coincided with the vision of the president and the sports director, then why not, I would be happy to lead the Premier League team, ”said Belik in a comment Terrikon.
