Former coach of the Ukrainian national team Myron Markevich expressed his opinion on the future prospects of Andriy Shevchenko and his problems at Genoa.
Miron Markevich- Why do you think Shevchenko and Genoa terminated the contract? After all, a Ukrainian specialist could receive money and have a rest.
- It's hard to say. It's better to ask Shevchenko. Maybe he had some other job option. Perhaps so. Only he knows.
- Should Shevchenko now return to coaching or, maybe, run for the presidency of the UAF, as the media write?
— I don't know what his plans are. As far as I know, he wanted to be a coach. He did well in the national team and maybe there is an option. Does he want it himself? I do not know.
— What did Shevchenko fail in Genoa?
- This is such a job that today you can be on a horse, and tomorrow - below, under the hooves. This is not only his case, but any coach has such a fate. You need to be able to take a hit and move on if he wants to be a coach.
He had great assistants, watched him when he worked as the head of the national teams committee. They complemented each other, and therefore there was a good result. If he decides to be a coach, then there are probably such assistants [at the ready]. This is a creative process.
