“I learned from the press last week that I am no longer the head coach of Oleksandria. I was returning from Poland, I was at my grandson's birthday there, and along the way I read an insider that I was no longer the head coach of Oleksandria. But he did not call the club.

Today (on Wednesday, - ed. note) I was summoned for a conversation by the president of the club Sergey Anatolyevich Kuzmenko. We talked and it was decided to stop cooperation. He said that another person would take my place. The President did not tell me the name of the new head coach, but as far as I know, it will be Rotan.

Resentment against the leadership of "Alexandria"? They carry water on the offended. There is no offense, but there is some understatement. What caused the breakup, I don't know. Maybe a new coach is needed to give some impetus to achieve the goal. The task set for Oleksandriya is to take third place in the Premier League. It's just that it was set for a year, and only six months have passed. There is still time. Turns out it didn't work. But I think that with this team there is every chance to take third place and be in the European Cup zone, ”said Gura.
