Artem Kravets: "I voiced to Dynamo president my vision and ideas that can be used to improve something in the club"

Advisor to Dynamo president Artem Kravets told about his position in the capital club.

- How did you become an advisor to the Dynamo president and how did your transition from a player to a functionary take place?

- To be honest, I didn't really see myself in a coaching role. I always wanted to try myself in a managerial position. It was very simple. We had a meeting with the president - first on the phone and then we met in person.

I showed my ideas, how I see some problematic issues and my vision of how to fix them. We agreed that I will start working at Dynamo in such a position where I will not have much responsibility for the time being. But one should start somewhere and move forward step by step. That's how it turned out.

- If it is not a secret, can you tell generally about your ideas, with which you came to Igor Surkis?

- I would not like to talk about specific ideas. Every club, and Dynamo also has something to work on and in what directions to develop. I just voiced my vision and ideas that can be used to improve something in the club. It concerns scouting of the first team players, U-19 and our academy. There are different points there.

If you compare me a year ago and now, maybe I would have done even a better project. But we are all learning. At that moment the president saw that my ideas are probably not bad and decided that I could start working.
