This decision was taken by the club after yesterday's match of the final, 30th round of the Ukrainian Championship against Rivne's Veres (0:1), a defeat in which sent Ingulets into the zone of transitional matches (namely, 14th place) for the right to retain its place in the Premier League.

"Football club Ingulets would like to thank Serhiy Ivanovych Kovalets for his cooperation. He took charge of the team during a difficult period for the club. He is credited with historic victory over Dynamo Kyiv and other victories over long-standing rivals of Ingulets.

We thank him for his dedication, efforts and football experience which he shared with us. We wish Serhii Ivanovych success in his future coaching career.

For the transition matches against Cherkasy LNZ the players will be coached by Vladyslav Lupashko, the acting head coach", - reads the statement on Inhults' official website.
