Ukrainian coach Viktor Skrypnyk was not the only candidate for the position of Metalist 1925 coach. This was reported by journalist Igor Burbas in his telegram channel.
Vicente Gómez"Earlier, the club negotiated with two Spaniards who are now working in the structure of the national teams of Ukraine. These are Serhiy Rebrov's assistant Vicente Gomez and the youth coach Unai Melgosa. But they were not ready to leave their current positions, and the combination was impossible.
Skrypnyk's invitation is not just a change in the Kharkiv team's playing philosophy, but the first step towards realising the new investor's ambitions. About a quarter of the annual budget has been allocated to the coaching staff, which is now around 4 million USD.
And starting next season, the injections will gradually increase. And I have heard that it will increase significantly. Metalist 1925 is planning to strengthen significantly starting in the summer. All this with an eye on the European Cups," Burbas wrote.
