The change of the head coach this off-season will cost Shakhtar Donetsk an estimated EUR 1.2m, journalist Igor Burbas said in his Telegram channel.
According to the source, Igor Jovicevic's dismissal resulted in Shakhtar paying a forfeit to the specialist, which amounted to around 500,000 euros.
In addition, Shakhtar will pay €700,000 to Zorya as compensation for the premature termination of Patrick van Leeuwen's contract with the club.
It should be recalled that yesterday Shakhtar officially announced the departure of Jovicevic and his coaching staff, but the appointment of van Leeuwen as the Pitmen's coach can only be talked about unofficially.
