- Today (Monday - editor's note) in the morning I had a meeting with the director of FC Obolon Oleksandr Riznichenko, who after an exchange of views on the performance of the Brewers at the start of the UPL championship said that the club is no longer interested in my services .
- Was it a surprise for you?
- You know, they say that the head coach should always have a suitcase packed. And yet, I did not expect such a denouement, because only in the game with "Polesie" there was a failure, but there were objective reasons. We had no time to recover after the cup clash with "Kolos", where we won only in a penalty shootout. Although there were enough personnel problems, especially with the offensive line.
- What next, perhaps you were offered to continue working in the structure of FC, because you gave Obolon about 20 years as a soccer player and then as a coach?
- No, I did not hear any offers from Reznichenko. I said that I would sign a resignation letter only after I was fully paid off, because I have a contract with Obolon for another year.
- On September 3, Obolon players will start preparing for the match of the 6th round of the UPL - with "Alexandria". Who will replace you at the helm?
- I only know that my assistant Oleksandr Antonenko will conduct the training.
