Under the leadership of the Dutchman, the Pitmen played only 12 matches
Miner announced on the official website the dismissal of the team’s head coach Patrick Van Leeuwen. Together with the mentor, his coaching staff also left the club.
Van Leeuwen will take charge of Shakhtar in the summer of 2023. Under the leadership of the Dutchman, the Miners played 12 matches: 7 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses.
Let us remind you that the Dutch specialist replaced Igor Jovicevich as Shakhtar head coach before the start of this season. Last season, Jovicevic won the Ukrainian championship with the Miners and reached the group stage of the Champions League.
Shakhtar takes third place in the UPL, having played one match less for Krivbass and Polesie. On October 21, the team will play against LNZ in the Ukrainian Championship. The Pitmen also occupy third place in the Champions League group, and in the next match of the European Cup tournament they will play against Barcelona on October 25.
“Shakhtar” and Patrick van Leeuwen blame the truth.
The Dutch specialist and his coaching staff will deprive the club.
“Shakhtar” commends assistant Patrick van Leeuwen and his assistants for their professionalism and wishes them success and victory in the future!https://t.co/0AzR83XNyg#Shakhtar pic.twitter.com/s1EJeP19Ku
