Former mentor

- I coached in Ukraine - where, unfortunately, what we see is happening now - and for the first time in history we defeated Dynamo Kiev and won the championship. It was a very strong Dynamo under the leadership of Colonel Lobanovsky, who dominated the Ukrainian championship for many years, Skala, 75, told Guerinsportivo.
Recall that in 2002, the Donetsk team became the champions of Ukraine for the first time, inflicting a single defeat on Dynamo already after death Valery Lobanovsky and, as a result, outperforming competitors in the standings by one point.
