Igor Jovichevich: “Management will decide on Mudrik. But I want him to stay."

The head coach of Shakhtar Donetsk Igor Jovicevich told what he thinks about the future fate of his team's midfielder Mykhailo Mudrik, who is actively interested in several top clubs in Europe at once.

“This club's management will decide what to do when there is an option to sell a player, the team's star. As a coach, of course, I want such a player to play in the team for as long as possible, to build a quality Shakhtar around him, so that everyone gains momentum, gain experience and do what the team might have done in the Champions League . With our efforts, talent and ambition, I think we could do this together over time. They are young, I say again, young.

Dinamo Zagreb has a couple of players, for example, Guardiol, who plays for Leipzig and played in the World Cup today, Dani Olmo from Spain, who played in Zagreb. Each of them played at least 100 matches for the club and only then moved from the intermediate club, and not immediately to Barcelona and Manchester City. This is one small example of how to properly build your career so that you reach the highest level already ready, powerful. So that he could say "I'm here!" and open doors with his feet.

But the coach is always a little selfish and wants to have quality players on his team for as long as possible in order to give results and thrill the fans,” said Jovićević.
