The head coach of “Polissya” Imad Ashur expressed his opinion on the fact that many consider him a nobody.

And then they say: ‘Oh, he immediately got a position, but he should have gone through the whole path from youth football.’ But I have gone through that entire path.
Every time there was a next step, I faced the question: ‘And who are you?’ Every time, even at the youth level. My first coaching experience was at the “Chornomorets” academy, with the U-17 team. I came to the first team meeting, and they were sitting there like: ‘And who are you?’.
There was always the same question: ‘Who are you? Where have you been?’ and so on. I was already there, I was there. I had a managerial position, I was the U-19 coach. Perhaps my next step should have been at a second division club, I don’t know. But it turned out that I skipped that step and saved myself two or three years out of thirteen. I don’t have the goal of satisfying everyone, I have a goal set by the management,” — quotes Ashur the Telegram channel FootballHub.
