Well-known coach and football expert Vyacheslav Grozny spoke about the situation with the search for a mentor for the Ukrainian national team after the termination of cooperation between the UAF and Oleksandr Petrakov.
- Petrakov was not offered a full-fledged contract. Could until that time, until there is an agreement with the new coach to put it. Most likely, Petrakov was not satisfied with this.
Someone has to work until then. The UAF has specialists who coached: Blokhin, Mikhailichenko and other experienced coaches who could create a pool of coaches before Rebrov was appointed (with Protasov and Demyanenko) and prepare the national team before the arrival of a new coach, Grozny said.
