Ingulets president Oleksandr Povorozniuk spoke about the details of the termination of Vladyslav Lupashko's contract and named potential candidates for the head coaching position.
Oleksandr Povorozniuk- Vladyslav Lupashko is leaving Ingulets. Is this information true?
- It is true. I personally see that Lupashko's brain has simply outgrown Ingulets. In the future, you will realize how unique this coach is.
When Ingulets officially received offers from 4 UPL clubs and two foreign clubs, I realized that I would not keep a young coach, as well as a young player, if I saw further development in him. So we talked together and decided that I would let him go without any money.
Where will he go? I don't know, he hasn't made a decision yet.
- "Without money" means that Ingulets will not receive any compensation?
- Yes, it does. I will be very happy if he succeeds at the highest level and I will be proud that Vlad used to be the head of Ingulets. I want to thank him for this unforgettable season, for the emotions that Lupashko gave us all. I don't want any money, I don't want anything, I just want to give him the opportunity to make his future.
I'll tell you more. Lupashko and I have recently re-signed for a 3-year contract, but now we are terminating it and letting Vladyslav go.
- Are you letting him go to Karpaty?
- No, it's not Karpaty yet. They are only third in line for this coach. A foreign club is the first to go, and the conditions are better there, but Lupashka chose them.
- Did he consult with you?
- We communicate all the time, but I didn't advise him personally. I said that I had done everything that depended on me, and then it was up to him. They said: "Povorozniuk won't let go," but I let him go, and he will have the documents in his hands today.
- Is Željko Lubenović the new coach of Ingulets, as Ihor Burbas said?
- This is still an open question. Tomorrow I meet with Zeljko Lubenovic and we will either agree or not. We will know everything in the afternoon. Before that, we talked to the president of Mynai and he said that he would let Željko go. Peresolyak and I are family friends, there were no questions, and he is also being given away for free.
- Did you consider other candidates? Kovalets? Lavrynenko?
- Kovalets - no. Lavrynenko - yes. There was also Kuchuk and a couple of other candidates, and the negotiation process will continue if Lubenovych fails.
