Former Minaya forward Danilo Kolesnik told us why he decided to leave the club.

On Tuesday, we sat down and talked to the sporting director Serhiy Bilan. I came up and said: "If they don't count on me, let's terminate the agreement and I'll look for a club." Anatoliyovych talked to Sharan. In a personal conversation, Bogdanovych said that it would be better for me to terminate the contract and find a club where I would get more time.
The decision to leave Minaj was not only due to the lack of playing time. The team has delays in salaries. We have just been paid for September. Despite the fact that Minaj has one of the lowest salaries in the UPL. The guys who live at the base talk about the lack of food. We were told: do what you want, there are no finances.
How did you solve the issue of food? We took it with us from home, some relatives sent money, some went into debt. This is not the level of the Premier League. I was not satisfied with this state of affairs, and Bilan said to me: "You can pack your things and leave". After that, the team was in a tense situation. There were no results, the financial situation deteriorated, and on a personal level, it was time to leave.
When we asked about salaries, we were told: "The president has no emotions, he sees no point. There will be no salaries. That's the way it is for now."
Can it be like that in a team of the UPL level? Everyone has families, the guys are counting on something. The sporting director said: "You have received your official salary. Everything else is personal," Kolesnyk said.
