Perica Ognjenovic, a former head coach of Kharkiv Metalist and former player of Dynamo Kyiv, still believes that sport can be outside politics.
Perica OgnjenovicWhen asked directly by Sport-express: "Should the Russians be banned from competitions?", he answered the following:
- I understand what is happening in Ukraine, but I don't want to talk about it in more detail. There are politicians, people who deal with this issue and get paid for it. I am a person who is involved in sports, and I love every nation in the world. Serbian athletes were also disqualified at one time. I believe that athletes are not to blame for wars.
