Leonid Kuchuk (photo: fcrukh.com)- Who made the decision to terminate cooperation with Kuchuk?
- It was the club's decision. Rukh decided to say goodbye to Leonid Kuchuk after the match against Shakhtar.
- Was it the decision of the president Hryhoriy Kozlovsky?
- The president doesn't make one decision, the club's management does: the CEO, the executive director, including the president. They make decisions comprehensively. There are always consultations and discussions.
- Was the decision made after the 0-2 loss to Shakhtar, or had it been a long time coming? After all, Shakhtar is a great team, and it is not a shame to lose to them.
- The reason is complex. Of course, no one draws conclusions from one match.
- How did Leonid Kuchuk find out about the dismissal and say goodbye to the team?
- As such, there was no farewell yet, I think he will say goodbye tomorrow. After the match, the club management told him about his dismissal, thanked him for his work, and shook hands.
- How did Kuchuk react?
- Of course, it's not always pleasant when they say: "Thank you for your cooperation". But this is the life of a coach, coaches are ready for this: today you are on a horse, and tomorrow you are not.
- Is it possible that Kuchuk will remain in another position at the club?
- As of today, I don't know. Now it's a cold shower for everyone. Everyone will sleep on this news and on Monday there will be a decision.
- How did the team react to the termination of cooperation with Kuchuk?
- I haven't really talked to anyone yet. But there is definitely no joy and euphoria.
