The vice president of 'Epicenter' Oleksandr Kasyan commented on the information that the club’s management is allegedly dissatisfied with the team’s results and gave head coach Serhiy Nagornyak 3 matches of the Ukrainian championship to rectify the situation.
— This is a deception, I’m saying it right away. The management has never given an ultimatum to either the coach or the coaching staff.
— Was there a meeting between the parties during the break for the national team matches?
— There was a meeting with the team and the coaching staff included, and it was friendly. We went to church together, communicated. But no ultimatums were given to each other. If the management ever issues such an ultimatum, it will be said for everyone. For now, it’s all slander. I don’t know where this information is coming from.
— Overall, how would you comment on the team’s start to the season?
— There is gameplay, the guys are trying. Yes, there are mistakes, we are human — everyone can make mistakes. We are newcomers to the Premier League, we need to strive to be respected by other clubs, referees, about whom there are questions.
In general, we are satisfied with both the players' performance and the way the coaching staff manages the process. If there were any misunderstandings, it would have spread immediately. Therefore, it’s just a throw-in.
