Liverpool legend replaces Rebrov’s assistant in Ukraine national team
FC DAK 1904 (Dunajská Streda) officially announced the appointment of the Slovak football legend Martin Skrtel for the position of sports director.
Let us recall that from October 2023 to August 2024, this position was held by Ukrainian Gleb Platov, who is also an assistant to the head coach of the Ukrainian national team, Serhiy Rebrov.
Skrtel turns 40 in December. He spent the last two years as a player for amateur club Raztochno, and ended his professional career the summer before last. The central defender spent his golden years in Liverpool – from January 2008 to the summer of 2016, 320 matches and 18 goals. He was recognized as the best player of the Reds in the 2011/12 season.
Martin played 104 matches and scored six goals for the Slovakia national team, with which he reached the playoffs of the 2010 World Cup and wore the captain’s armband for seven years.
DAK 1904 is the vice-champion of Slovakia in the 2023/24 season. In the new season, the team from the city of Dunajská Streda is in third place after six rounds. DAK performed poorly in the European Cups, losing to Azerbaijani Zira (0:4, 1:2) in the Conference League qualification.
