Oleksandr Babich, known for his work with Chornomorets, Mariupol and Kryvbas, could take charge of Luhansk Zorya this summer, Ukrainian TV commentator Ihor Tsyganik has reported.

According to the source, the Luhansk side had been in contact with Babich about co-operation and invited him to work with them (presumably, this happened even before Nenad Lalatovic was appointed head coach of Zorya), but he refused.
At the same time, the coach cited his unwillingness to return to Ukraine as the reason for this decision, stating that he was better off abroad at this stage.
