Dynamo coach Oleksandr Shovkovskiy commented on his appointment as Mircea Lucescu's assistant.
Alexander Shovkovsky“We always look with optimism into our future, but we never forget about the past! I am grateful to the Ukrainian Football Association and personally to Andriy Pavelko and each of the UAF team for this responsible four-year period of my work at the headquarters of the main team of Ukraine. That was great!
But today I have a new challenge ahead of me. And I accept it with great pleasure and thank Igor Surkis and the coaching staff led by Mircea Lucescu for the opportunity to join the Dynamo Kyiv team. There were only two teams in my football life. This is Dynamo Kyiv and the national team of Ukraine And so far it remains so...
But I don’t say goodbye... There are certain agreements that if my services are needed, then I’m ready to join the cooperation in the new coaching staff of the national squad in combination... But this will be decided by the new head coach of the Ukrainian national football team .
In the meantime, I will apply my knowledge and experience to the maximum in order to make my beloved and famous club even stronger and better! Together to VICTORY! Glory to Ukraine. Glory to the Nation. Glory to the Armed Forces of Ukraine,” Shovkovsky wrote on his Facebook page.
