Former midfielder of Kyiv «Dynamo» and the Ukraine national team Serhiy Rybalka explained why the coaching staff of his former team lost the main assistant of then-team coach Serhiy Rebrov in 2016.
“Raúl started pushing it too much. He felt like he was the head coach, capable of removing someone or discussing this with the club president. But that’s what the head coach is for. Raúl began to overstep and make decisions himself.
This situation occurred in the third year of that «Dynamo» coaching staff. Raúl probably saw that the team needed some changes because after two consecutive championships, we didn’t win the league. They always wanted to remove Khacheridi because he constantly didn’t follow the game plan. But when the results weren’t great, the first person they returned to the starting lineup was Khacheridi," said Rybalka on Denis Boyko’s YouTube channel.
