– In the mid-90s, you could move to Lobanovsky in kyiv, but you refused. For what?
— It was a difficult decision. I then consulted many people. The invitation was flattering, it came specifically from Lobanovsky. I thought for a long time. He also consulted Beskov, who said, “You can go there, but don’t come back.” In the end, I decided to stay,” Kovtun told .
