The administrator and press attaché of Kristall Kherson, Nikolay Komarenko, explained why one of its recent head coaches Vadim Yevtushenko, known for his work in the Dynamo Kyiv structure, at the helm of Vorskla Poltava, and also in coaching staff of the Ukrainian national team.
“Vadim Yevtushenko is a very pleasant and intelligent person. I think he is a good coach. But it is unlikely that he understood, when he agreed to work at Kristall, what a communal club is and what difficulties he will have to face. It was his mistake.
The factor that he worked with Oleksiy Mikhailichenko in the Premier League for a long time also played a role. And the first and second leagues are their own world, which you need to know thoroughly in order to achieve some results, ”Komarenko quotes fanday.
Recall that Yevtushenko headed Kristall during the 2020/21 season, in the winter of 2021. But he failed to save the team from relegation to the second league - the Kherson team finished in last place in the first league standings. In the summer of the same year, Yevtushenko left his post.
