- I would like to say one more thing. As of now, I'm going on sick leave, I need a surgery on my leg. Oleksandr Shovkovskiy will take over as head coach, but I will always be with the team, I will supervise. I could do it in other country, but I think it is necessary to stay in Kyiv to be with the team, it is important for the players, for Dynamo and maybe even Ukraine", Lucescu said.
