Journalist Serhiy Tyshchenko commented on discussions about replacing Marino Pushych with the head coach of the Donetsk “Shakhtar” by the coach of the club’s youth team, Oleksiy Bilok.
Serhiy Tyshchenko“It’s very strange that someone seriously talks about Oleksiy Bilok replacing Mariano Pushych in the first team of ‘Shakhtar’.
The youth team of the ‘miners’ looks no less awful in the second half of the season than in the first. With a lead of plus 5, with 4 rounds to finish the season, ‘Shakhtar’ is already trailing ‘Dynamo’ by 4 points. Almost every match is very difficult. Very hard victories. In the crucial match against ‘Dynamo’, the Kyiv team completely outplayed their opponent (1:0, — note. ed.).
The most important thing is that none of the ‘Shakhtar U-19’ players are in the first team. Not a single one has come close. In other words, no young players have shown significant progress.
I wouldn’t be surprised if in the summer ‘Shakhtar’ changes coaches not only in the first team but also in the youth team,” wrote Tyshchenko on his Telegram channel.
