UAF Vice President and current head of the Lviv Oblast Football Federation Oleksandr Shevchenko spoke about his appointment to Andriy Shevchenko's team.
Alexander Shevchenko- I don't think this position is new. I was vice president of the previous team, but this is a new challenge for me. We need to take new breaths in Ukrainian football. I think there will be some experience that I had in organising football in the Lviv Association. I will transfer this experience to the all-Ukrainian level. We will try to give a new breath to Ukrainian football and support Andriy Mykolayovych.
- Did you have a conversation with him? What did you talk about when you talked about joining his team?
- There were no specific agreements. We talked about the fact that Andrey Nikolaevich would like to see me in his team. I said I didn't mind. At least we have the same surname - maybe it will help.
- Do you have any specific responsibilities?
- We haven't discussed this yet, because the necessary issues have now been resolved, which were delayed for a long time because the previous executive committee was not fully capable. That's why we talked about this today.
- What are your impressions of the new president's arrival, the programme, and the areas of work?
- The programme is nice, kind, cool. Let's hope that everything will work out, that Ukrainian football will change for the better. Even with the current situation in our country.
