The sporting director of Shakhtar, Dario Srna, shared his thoughts on the playing style of the new head coach of the team, Arda Turan.
"It was not difficult to convince Turan to lead Shakhtar. He did not ask about the war or the contract; we just talked about football, players, and the team. A phone call was enough. He said: "I am ready. This is my chance, and I want to take it. I am not worried; I want to be a coach at the highest level."
Turan is Simeone in defense and Luis Enrique in attack. He has the soul of a player; he feels the football player, and this is very hard to achieve. He also has an excellent coaching staff. We believe in him and are ready to start a new chapter with the same ambitions as always: we want to reach the Europa League and become champions of Ukraine again," Srna was quoted by Marca.
