Journalist Ihor Tsyhanyk expressed his opinion on the dismissal of Igor Jovicevic as Shakhtar's coach on Tsyhanyk Live.
Igor Jovicevic"Jovicevic did not have the task of winning the Ukrainian league, it was not voiced, because everyone understood that a new team was being formed in rather difficult conditions. But Jovicevic exceeded this task.
What was the reason for his dismissal? On the sidelines, they talk about the scandals at the end of the championship, when the club, frankly speaking, discredited its competitors in order to win the championship and earn 40 million euros. This was the trigger for this decision. Now we are in the process of negotiations to properly formalise everything legally.
Jovicevic's dismissal is a shock for me! This person was simply used at a difficult time. And now it will be difficult for Jovicevic to find a job in Ukraine. He left Dnipro-1 badly, Dynamo and Zorya are not considering Jovicevic. "Shakhtar fired him, giving a hint that they were unhappy with his work, despite the fact that he won the championship. By doing so, they let him know that championships are not always won through coaching talent. Although this is Shakhtar - cynicism and pragmatism.
I'm interested in what the director of football will say, because when this information is officially released, there will be questions about what happened, what the reasons are. If they try to explain it by saying that Jovicevic wanted to, it's not quite true," Tsyganik said.
