Commentator Viktor Vatsko criticized the UAF for the idea of appointing Ruslan Rotany as acting head coach of the Ukrainian national team for the first matches in the qualification for Euro-2024.
"On the date of the matches of the national team, the "youth team" should go through its last training session before the 2023 European Championship. This is the last chance to gather the players and watch them in action. There is a chance to go to the 2024 Olympics. Why touch Rotany and break all the plans for the training of the youth team?
Take Blokhin, Demyanenko, Mykhailichenko, Belanov, Protasov, some goalkeeping coach and you have a coaching staff. A trip to England, per diems in dollars, and in the evening you can watch football at Wembley from the bench.
Yarmolenko will be the head coach of the team. They will play as they agree among themselves. Ideas in the UAF are not put forward by football people. Taxi drivers and Ostapa Benders sit in the leadership," said Vatsko in his author's YouTube program.
