The head coach of Oleksandria and the youth team of Ukraine Ruslan Rotan commented on his appointment as acting head coach of the Ukrainian national team.

" For the fact that I am now acting for the game with England, first of all, we need to thank our soldiers. For whom it is difficult - so it is for them. We should not be afraid of the responsibility for this match, because it is much more difficult for our soldiers on the front line than it is for us to prepare for the game and conduct it..

However, we understand that we will also defend the honor of the country, so we must approach it very responsibly.. I think that by March 5-6 we will already know all the players who will be called to the training camp and will be included in the reserve list. We will talk with the future head coach and, I think, we will come to the conclusion of these numbers,"

Recall that today, February 28, the UAF appointed Ruslan Rotan as acting head coach of the Ukrainian national team.

The agreement with the specialist is calculated until the entry into force of the contract with Sergey Rebrov. The contract with the latter will be signed for a period until July 30, 2024 with the possibility of extension by mutual agreement until the summer of 2026.
