Ruslan Rotan combines club work with national teams
coach Ruslan Rotan in 2023 failed to win a single official match.
At the same time, Rotan is a mentor of three teams at the same time – he is the head coach of the Oleksandriya UPL club, as well as the Ukrainian youth team. Rotan also holds the post of acting head coach of the Ukrainian national team.
As for the matches played, at the head of the national team, Rotan lost to England in the qualification for Euro 2024 (0:2). With Alexandria, the specialist played four matches in the Premier League, ending them in a draw (against Metalist 1925, Dnepr-1, Minay and Metalist).
The youth team of Ukraine defeated Denmark – 3: 2, but formally Rotan did not lead the team, as he was at the disposal of the national team. Today, already with Rotan on the coaching bench, Ukraine U-21 lost to Italy (1:3).
Recall that the Ukrainian national team U-21 got into group B at Euro 2023, where it will play with Romania, Croatia and Spain. The two best teams from each quartet will advance to the playoffs of the European Youth Championship.
Oleksandriya is in fifth place in the UPL standings. On April 1, Rotan’s wards will receive Vorskla.
Ukraine is fourth in Group C after losing to England. The blue-yellows failed to deliver a single shot on target in England during the match. In the next round of qualification for the European Championship 2024, Ukraine will face North Macedonia. The match will take place on June 16. Also in June, the blue-yellows will play against Malta.
