Well-known manager and expert Vyacheslav Zakhovailo reacted to information about the disqualification of the coach of Zhytomyr’s «Polissia U-19» Hennadiy Lytovchenko for striking the referee.
«Hennadiy Lytovchenko was punished for striking the referee.
Hena is an Honored Master of Sports of international class, a legend of 'Dnipro
Dynamo', and the Soviet national team.I know him as a decent person, a coach, and an educator. Well, if he also lost his nerve, and Hena snapped with emotions, then there is definitely something wrong with the refereeing.
I believe that the punishment should be converted to conditional with a probationary period. In turn, Hennadiy should publicly apologize to the fans, but not to the referees.
Finally, sort out the referees. Everyone who understands football sees how referees have learned to provoke players and coaches.
Wish everyone well! Glory to Ukraine!», — wrote Zakhovailo on his page on the social network Facebook.
