Today, March 21, former Dynamo Kyiv forward Oleh Venglynskyi, now an assistant coach of the White and Blues youth team, turns 45. UEFA Honorary Member Hryhoriy Surkis congratulated the hero of the day.
Dear Oleg!
On the day of your anniversary, I express my sincere wishes to you - as one of the masters who are the true keepers of the DNA of Kyiv football.
You had the honor and joy of playing under the leadership of the great Valeriy Lobanovsky, during one of the highest ups of our Dynamo. And in that bright playing ensemble, you stood out not only for your responsibility and professional attitude, but also for your ability to consistently give your all for the sake of collective victories.
Having left a bright mark both in the capital and with Dnipro and Chornomorets, having tasted the hard bread of legionnaires, you returned to your home country to raise tomorrow's stars. The young Dynamo players were frankly lucky to have such a coach, teacher and senior friend.
I wish you, dear hero of the day, and all of us, a speedy victory for Ukraine in the bloody struggle against the Russian aggressor. And after that - peace, harmony, creative work for the glory of the club and the sporting image of the state. I wish you happiness, health, and God's favor!
Sincerely, Hryhoriy SURKIS
