Ukrainian coach of Azerbaijani Neftchi Roman Grigorchuk may be fired after yesterday's defeat to Qarabagh (0:4) in the next round of the national championship, reports Sport.ua.
According to the source, after this failure, the management of the Baku club reserves the right to make any decision regarding the mentor, under whose leadership the "oilmen" have not yet won a single victory in the championship. After Grigorchuk's appointment, Neftchi has already played seven matches in the Azerbaijani championship, in which they drew four times and lost three times.
Here is what the 59-year-old specialist said about the situation.
"The most difficult and embarrassing thing is that we can not please our fans. It's hard to experience this. But I am sure it will happen. They deserve it.
Goals? To build a team that will play soccer. It is better to keep quiet now, then it will be easier to talk when we start to show the soccer we need. And we will.
We're running out of time. I'd rather not talk. People look at this situation in different ways. I take all the criticism in my address. I am calm, I believe in every player. You will see a very good Neftchi. We are communicating with the management. It is with high ambitions and, based on communication with them, I come to the fact that they understand us and what is required for this," - quotes Grigorchuk Azerisport.
