Well-known journalist Sergey Tishchenko has spoken out about the failures of Shakhtar Donetsk.
- "Shakhtar's management has been considered the best in Ukraine for a very long time, but now there are a lot of hits against the bar. Over the past season and a half, there have been a lot of unanswered questions:
1. Jovetic's switch to Patrick. They killed the goose that lays the golden eggs. Then we hired a coach with a completely different style. We conducted a transfer campaign on his behalf and fired him after 3 months.
2. Sudakov's PR. It was clearly unnecessary and inappropriate. He brought more trouble than good. Zhora began to lose his temper with the pressure of advances.
3. The loss of Lviv. Playing in the Champions League in Germany and then returning to Kyiv to play in the UPL is somehow too much. Extra 600 kilometers.
4. Performances at the Left Bank Stadium. Not every Kyivan knows where it is and how to get there. "Shakhtar plays for the fans, not the players.
5. We need to sell. "Shakhtar buys, but not all is well with sales. Artem Bondarenko, Danylo Sikan, Mykola Matvienko, Yukhym Konoplya have passed their peak prices.
6. Now it looks like Pushich will repeat Patrick's peak. Over the past two and a half years, there have been a lot of coaches for Shakhtar," Tyshchenko wrote on his Facebook page.
