Oleksandr Kucher, the former head coach of Dnipro-1, spoke about the debts that the Dnipro club owes to him.
Oleksandr Kucher- I read in the press that Friedman promised to pay everyone off, but so far there is silence. I recently saw Zhenya Seleznyov, he said that the club was going to pay off the debt, but so far it's just words, there are no specifics.
- How much money do they owe you?
- A decent amount. Three months of salary and bonuses for the second place and European Cups.
- What does the UAF Dispute Resolution Chamber say?
- I submitted an application there, but so far it has not been considered, although a lot of time has passed.
- How do you feel when you read the latest news about Dnipro-1, that the team will be disbanded?
- It's hard to say anything. Let's see in practice when the final decision is made, who is good, who is bad, who is good and who is not.
- Aren't you afraid that Dnipro-1 will go bankrupt and no one will ever pay you back?
- I earned this money honestly and expect to get it back. But the saddest thing in this situation is that a club from the UPL and European Cups may disintegrate. It's a shame to lose such teams. People have invested money, emotions and souls there, and now such an unpleasant situation has happened.
- What or who can save Dnipro-1?
- I cannot answer this question. There are managers there who should save Dnipro-1, not just make loud statements. It's hard for me to say anything because I don't understand what's going on in the management and why they make such decisions. How can you abandon a team that plays in European competitions? It's a mystery to me.
