Head coach of Cherkasy LNZ Oleg Dulub answered questions about his immediate future.
- Have you planned how the team will spend the off-season and where exactly training camps will be held?
- Not yet. I need to know a lot of factors and information that I simply do not have. Because the decision on me and my coaching staff has not been made. Where the training camp will be held, what the rookies will be like, etc. - is still unknown.
- Have you already decided on the players that the fans will not see in the next championship?
- Again, this question is related to what we have just discussed above.
- How do you react to the rumours about the alleged search for a new coach for LNZ - with wariness, understanding or a smile?
- Firstly, there is no smoke without fire. And secondly, you always analyse everything that happens around you. And at the same time you wonder: who benefits from it? It should be understood that information about Roman Grigorchuk (current head coach of Chornomorets - editor's note) too often appeared in the context of recent events: first Kolos, then Polesie, and now LNZ is involved.
In my opinion, this is either the work of agents who lobby the interests of the coach, or someone else's movement. And there is no football without it either. Football is a sport where there are always rumours for the fans, hype.
The only difference between LNZ and Kolos is that as soon as there were rumours about the Kovalivka club, Kolos immediately published a denial that it was not considering any candidate. This is what is called club work. Therefore, in this case for me there is a clear understanding of two options: either negotiations with Grigorchuk were held and the parties did not agree, or the club simply did not react, because due to lack of experience did not take into account that there is the prestige of both the club and the prestige of the head coach.
On Monday Oleg Dulub left Cherkassy and went on holiday. Now clarity in this matter should come within a week.
