Ex-Minaya footballer Mykhailo Kopolovets said what he thinks about the appointment of Zeljko Lubenovic as the new head coach of his former team, and also commented on rumours about the possible disappearance of the Transcarpathian club from the football map of Ukraine.
Mikhail Kopolovets"Ljubenovic was a strong footballer, and what kind of coach is he - I do not know. Especially since he will need to help "Minai" to climb out of the bottom of the standings (after 14 rounds of the current Ukrainian championship Zakarpattia scored only 6 points and are in last place - ed.).
Although, for Lubenovic, this is certainly a promotion, because he used to work as an assistant head coach in his home country, and here there is a chance to prove himself in the UPL championship as a coach.
Ljubenovic is the choice of the club management of Minaj, and now a lot will depend on whether during the winter break funds will be found to strengthen the squad.
As for the information that the club management of "Minaya" is interested only in the team's performance in the UPL, and in case of departure from the elite this project will be closed, I have heard such conversations. But let's not bury "Minaya" prematurely. All the struggle is still ahead, both for a place on the podium and among the outsiders," Sport.ua quoted Kopolovets as saying.
