Well-known Ukrainian football coach Ruslan Zabransky commented on the possibility of appointing Serhiy Rebrov as the head coach of the Ukrainian national team.
— I believe that Rebrov's candidacy is optimal for the role of coach, but we have to wait another six months for him. And if the world has already converged on Ribrov, then it is worth signing a preliminary contract with him. Then he will calmly finish six months in the Emirates, and his assistants will already start preparing the national team for the March match with the English. Looking for a temporary coach for six months... If I were offered this, I would refuse. And every coach will refuse because it's humiliating. Nobody wants to just sit and wait for Rebrov to come. I do not at all understand why the UAF allowed such a situation. We also had a coach Oleksandr Petrakov. Why wasn't his contract extended for at least six months? Now the UAF has put itself in an awkward position... the expert said.
