It's official. Andriy Pyatov has finished his goalkeeping career at Shakhtar

Shakhtar's reserve goalkeeper Andriy Pyatov will no longer play for the Donetsk team and may even switch to coaching.

This was announced by Shakhtar CEO Serhiy Palkin:

"Andriy Pyatov has now completed his performances as a player for our club. You know that we will play a charity match against Tottenham on 6 August. We have offered Pyatov to play a farewell match to thank him for everything he has done for Shakhtar. This is a good opportunity to see Andrey Pyatov off at a packed stadium. I hope he accepts the invitation, plays in this match, and we will say a very goodbye to the legend of our club.

At the same time, we are saying goodbye to Andriy only as a footballer, but we would like to see him on Patrick van Leeuwen's coaching staff as a goalkeeping coach. We offer Pyatov to stay at the club, because his knowledge and charisma are very important to us. We have a lot of young players, and we need Andriy's experience. So we are confident that he will help."
