Dutch specialist Patrick van Leeuwen left the team after only 12 matches in charge.
The stay of the Donetsk leader was short-lived Shakhtar Patrick van Leeuwen. The leadership of the Pitmen today, October 16, announced the termination of cooperation with the Dutch specialist and his coaching staff.
We remind you that Van Leeuwen managed the Ukrainian champions only in July of this year, moving to the team from Lugansk Zari. He replaced Igor Jovicevich, whom Miner won the Ukrainian championship, but they also defeated the Croatian.
So, under the leadership of the Dutchman Miner played a total of 12 official matches, winning 7 of them. In the UPL standings, the Donetsk club is in third place with 18 points after nine games.
It is worth noting that just yesterday the specialist led the team in a friendly match with Rukh (2:0), and now his interview about the team’s preparation for the next matches in the absence of national team players appeared on the official website.
