Setanta Sports announced on its official Instagram page that it is ending its cooperation with commentator Yuri Kirichenko.
“I worked for Setanta Sports TV channels for 5 years. Together we experienced many cool events, matches, finals. Fans could hear my voice not only during broadcasts, but also in competition announcements. High quality standards have always been valued here. These standards are close to me too.
Does it make sense to tell the details or circumstances of the situation that developed on October 9? Now this is definitely not necessary. Most importantly, it goes against the high standards I mentioned earlier.
Therefore, in this situation, an absolutely logical decision was made that we should stop cooperation. We part as friends, and this, it seems to me, is the most important thing," Kirichenko said.
Kirichenko commented on the matches in parallel for two broadcasters: the Bundesliga match "Stuttgart" - "Union" for Setanta Sports and the game of the Turkish Super League "Fenerbahce" - "Fatih Karagyumryuk" for MEGOGO.
