Igor Jovićević was fired from his post despite winning the championship with the team.
Igor Jovičević will be fired from the position of head coach of Shakhtar. The Croatian mentor didn’t even help win the league title with the Pitmen.
This news was reported by TaToTake, as well as journalist Roman Bebekh. According to a source cited by insiders, this decision was made personally by the president of the Donetsk club, Rinat Akhmetov. The instructor himself was also informed of the termination of cooperation.
Now Shakhtar are desperately looking for a replacement for Jovićević. There are candidates, but no details. “One coach is from Europe, familiar with Shakhtar. I do not believe that he will go to Ukraine now. And the second, more true, Patrick van Leeuwen, has already announced to the media,” said Bebekh.
In this regard, TaToTake journalists claim that the management wants the team to be led by Arne Sloth. Currently, the 44-year-old Dutch specialist is coaching Feyenoord, where he won the Dutch championship and reached the 1/8 finals of the Europa League.
