The goalkeeping coach of Shakhtar, Andriy Pyatov, confirmed the media information about his divorce from his wife, with whom he lived for 19 years.
“Yes, it’s true! Julia and I are getting divorced. We have always honestly shared our happiness. I find it necessary to be honest even in difficult moments. Especially since I have already seen numerous fantastical comments regarding this matter.
The first thing I want to say is that I am immensely grateful to Julia for these years together. We fell in love with each other even before the football successes. I have always valued the fact that she loved me not for my status, not for my wealth. Absolutely all of Pyatov’s achievements are OUR achievements, not mine. Because without Julia’s support, without her belief in me, without her love and patience, there would have been nothing.
Our wonderful family, which I could not even dream of — it’s all thanks to my wife. Julia gave me the joy of parenthood, pride in our children, unconditional love, and happiness that only a loving father can feel. I will always be grateful for this.
But... We are all human, with our sins and mistakes. The reason for our divorce stems from my mistakes, which can no longer be corrected. Julia gave me many chances, forgave me, and did everything to preserve our family — the most precious thing we had. I could not meet her expectations… Marriage should bring joy, not become a field for disappointments. Therefore, her decision is absolutely logical.
WE created a wonderful family, I could not protect it. It takes time to endure this period with dignity. Right now, the most important thing is our children, who are struggling just as much as we are. One thing will never change — I will love and support my family for as long as I live in this world.
I need to gather my thoughts and find the strength to explain more about the reason for our separation, the reason lies within me. I will share, so you do not make the same mistakes. But later…” — wrote Pyatov on social media.
