According to information from Greek journalist Nikos Afanasiou, as cited on gazzetta.gr, the head coach of the Ukraine national team, Sergey Rebrov, has been in Ukraine in recent days and during contacts with the Ukrainian Football Association stated that he wants to leave his position to lead Panathinaikos, with whom he has already fully agreed on the terms of a personal contract.
As for the candidacy of Dutch coach Mark van Bommel, the same source reports that Panathinaikos is indeed keeping him in mind, but will only consider such an option if they fail to reach a positive resolution with Rebrov.
