A well-known football functionary, former president of Borisfen Borispol, Igor Kovalevich, commented on the appointment of Alexander Shovkovsky as the acting head coach of Dynamo Kyiv.
Igor Kovalevich“Lucescu's resignation after the unsuccessful result of the match with Shakhtar for the people of Kiev was quite predictable. And the fact that this is precisely the resignation, no matter how it is called, for me personally does not raise the slightest doubt. Moreover, it is PREDICTABLE.
I am sure that Lucescu, regardless of the further results of the Kiev team, not to mention the positive results of the operation, will not return to the leadership of the main team as a head coach.
Who would not say anything now about the appointment of acting. head coach of Dynamo Alexander Shovkovsky, I will express my personal opinion, whether anyone likes it or not, but from a marketing point of view, it is, in my opinion, absolutely correct at the moment.
It's no secret that the army of Kyiv Dynamo fans in Ukraine, and not only the huge, the largest in Ukraine, but the very NAME SaSho, for the current generation, means a lot.
As for me, besides Andriy Shevchenko, with all due respect to all the other guys playing for the club beloved by millions of fans, there is honestly no one else to name. First of all, of course, this is NAME, charisma, authority, not to mention belonging to the Club itself.
And this, at the moment, is important!
What result this will give in the future depends on Sasho himself, but the fact that he has great authority among the guys themselves who play for Dynamo today, most of whom, like Sasha Shovkovsky himself, are pupils of Dynamo, does not cause I personally have NO doubts. And this is important in this situation!
Even without experience of independent work at such a high level, SaSho has an invaluable experience of working with such a CLUB as Valery Vasilievich Lobanovsky, and this is expensive.
But still, the main thing, as for me, in this situation, when the current results of the once great club, and Dynamo Kiev is rightfully so, want the best, at the moment of the most severe criticism, and it is fair, to the club, in the first place it is the turn of his leadership, only the appointment to the coaching bridge of such a PERSON, perceived, first of all, among the ultras of Dynamo, as Alexander Shovkovsky, I consider absolutely correct and necessary.
And the fact that Sasha took his first steps in professional football in my native Borisfen (the debut match of Borisfen in professional football in Kerch in 1993) is doubly pleasant...
Good luck and good luck to you, Sasha!” Kovalevich wrote on his Facebook page.
