Azov mentor spoke about his past desire to leave the UPL team.

Mariupol head coach Ostap Markevich commented on rumors in the press that he could leave the UPL team.

" In the past, there was talk about my desire to leave the team - it really was, what can you do, but I have a contract. There are people who asked me to stay, but I can't say no and spit on their desire. This is the same team.

The second factor is that you can run away from difficulties, but this is not an option.. We decided to stay and continue to work..

If we saw that some wrong processes are going on, there is no desire for us or the players - then there would be a different conversation. We train normally, we have a normal atmosphere. Football people understand such things - these are young people, and in order to oppose something to teams like Vorskla, experience is needed, "

After 15 rounds, Mariupol scored only seven points and ranks last in the UPL standings. " The game will take place on November 26, at 19:30 Kyiv time.
