“It was very difficult to take a decision in this situation. I am grateful to the club president for the fact that he supported me in taking this huge decision.”
“We will soon present a new head coach. I will do everything for the sake of this club.” The Russian national was quoted as saying.

division.
Meanwhile, it has been reported that the Cossacks have already appointed former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 Kyiv boss, Leonid Kuchuk, as their new manager.
