Ukrainian coach Oleksandr Babich has explained why he refused to take charge of Luhansk Zarya:
"I received an offer to head Bulgarian "Fratria", signed the contract. And only ten days later I got a call from Zorya. However, I was already bound by the agreement and human arrangement with the management of the Bulgarian club. Apart from Zoria, I was invited by clubs from Armenia and Georgia, but I refused them for the same reasons. So it has nothing to do with the fact that I allegedly do not want to return to Ukraine because of the war," Babich is quoted by the UPL TV channel as saying.
