Alexey Antonov, ex-coach of Chornomorets Odessa, is expected to join the coaching staff of Oleksandriya in the near future.
According to unofficial information, this club may continue the professional activity of the young specialist. The 38-year-old Antonov did not confirm or deny this information in a conversation with a Sport.ua correspondent, saying only that negotiations with one of the clubs are ongoing.
The expected appearance of Roman Grigorchuk's former assistant in the coaching staff of Oleksandriya is not accidental. The fact is that in the season 2011/12 Alexey Antonov played in the Dnipropetrovsk Dnipro team together with Ruslan Rotan and Serhiy Kravchenko, the current head coach and coach of Alexandria team.
Antonov started his coaching career at Chornomorets four years ago, serving as an assistant to Serhiy Kovalets.
