Former forward of Kyiv’s “Dynamo” Maxim Shatskikh, who until recently headed Tashkent’s “Pahhtakor”, commented on his appointment as vice president of this club.
“Completing my work as head coach of FC “Pahhtakor”, I want to thank everyone I worked with over these two and a half years!
I sincerely thank the esteemed President of our club Jahongir Artykhojaev for the trust and patience given, for support and wisdom!
Thank you to everyone who worked in the club office, all the team staff and our coaching staff, everyone who left everything on the field, everyone who supported and believed in the team until the end — my respect to you!
From the bottom of my heart, I thank everyone who expressed personal support to me during different periods of these seasons! — I appreciate your attitude.
And a special thank you to all who did not believe in us, — you made us stronger. We went a good way, becoming champions twice! Of course, not everything was smooth, but that made it more interesting!
I am glad that our players are in demand in good foreign clubs, — which means we moved forward in the right direction!
It is pleasant for me to observe the progress of the young players, to whom we devoted great attention according to the development vector chosen a year ago by the club’s management. It was not easy, but we laid a good foundation for the future, even at a temporary expense for the result! As confirmation, Mukhamadrasul Abdumajidov, recognized as the best young player of the season.
I confidently pass the young team to the new coach and will focus on developing the club structure, — we have much to improve off the field too! Big plans and a lot of work ahead! Forward, “Pahhtakor”!», — Shatskikh wrote on his Facebook page.
