Lucescu: Yarmolenko was the only experienced player who could implement the coach’s ideas

The coach has faced a number of critical situations this season

Former head coach Dynamo Mircea Lucescu spoke about the details of his departure from the Kyiv club. The coach emphasized that the team experienced serious difficulties with each game.

“I don’t know how my departure was interpreted. A message about his retirement appeared from the team. I only left the team, but did not end my career.”

“A month ago we had six points over Shakhtar and were on our way to the championship. But Yarmolenko was injured, he underwent surgery in Barcelona and will miss four months. He was the only experienced player who could implement the coach’s ideas.”

“Without such a player it is very difficult to lead a team. When you have more players like this, it’s even better. I lost it. In each game we had one player sent off. Very young defense. This is fine”.

“They are tied together, such things happen in football and you don’t know what to do. We lost three games in a row. In those conditions, I took full responsibility and said that this was normal. The coach is always responsible for the result. I will be the one who leaves the team and, in a sense, saves the team.”

Lucescu resigned after Dynamo’s defeat in the match with Shakhtar (0:1). The Romanian specialist has led the Kyiv team since 2020. In the first season under the leadership of the Romanian, the white-blues became the champion of Ukraine, and also won the Ukrainian Cup and Super Cup.

Alexander Shovkovsky has been appointed to the position of acting head coach of Dynamo Kyiv. The white-blues will play their next match on November 12 against Krivbass.
