Former Desna sporting director Vadym Melnyk commented on the rumours about the possible revival of the legendary Chernihiv club. He explained when we can expect more concrete information.
Vadym MelnykThe potential new club is likely to have a slightly changed name to avoid old debts. Vadym Melnyk is expected to remain Desna's sporting director, while Oleksandr Riabokon, who has coached the club before, will be the head coach.
- Vadym, there is information that with your participation, Desna's brand will be restored in Chernihiv. Is it true?
- So far, it's all just talk. To be honest, it's too early to talk about anything.
- When can we expect any specifics?
- I think we'll have more details in about a month.
It will be recalled that Desna finished seventh in the 2021/22 UPL season, which was disrupted by Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. In the following campaign, the club withdrew from the Ukrainian championship.
