The UAF president believes the Pitmen’s mentor proved to be a true leader during the war.
The President of the Ukrainian Football Association praised Shakhtar’s head coach and compared him to a captain on a ship. The mentor was awarded such epithets for his behavior during the war.
Andriy Pavelko told how the legionnaires of the Donetsk club were evacuated at the start of the war and how Roberto De Zerbi was the last to leave Shakhtar.
“From the very beginning, De Zerbi asked me to help get the foreign players and their families out of the country as soon as possible. We, as UAF, did everything to help them.
De Zerby has good manners. He stayed until all the foreign players were gone and safe. A real captain, “Pavelko quoted the official website of journalist Gianluca di Marzio.
