The famous Ukrainian coach Yuri Vernidub recently took charge of the Azerbaijani club " As reported by the TaToTake YouTube channel, his contract contains a special clause: all issues within Vernidub’s area of \u200b\u200bresponsibility prohibit any contacts with Russian clubs, including transfers and friendly matches.

Previously, Vernidub served in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and worked as the head coach of Krivbass, with whom he became the bronze medalist of the national championship.

“TaToTake” journalists note that the story with Vernidub caused a flurry of manipulations and provocations in the Russian media: “People come to this club and it is written in the contract that everything that the head coach says allows for the uniqueness of any contact with the swamp biomass,” the authors explained.

At the same time, they emphasized that Vernidub himself found himself in a difficult situation, not having time to immediately explain the process of approval and legalization of his departure from Ukraine.

Russian fans unleashed a real wave of criticism and ridicule. One user sarcastically noted: “It’s like he volunteered to fight for Zelensky. I also didn’t get to the part like 20K busified Taras every month? Users from the Russian Federation threw a real hysteria: “Let him return everything he earned to Zenit then,” “And let Dub not forget,” “Hello, I can’t talk, he doesn’t communicate with Muscovites.”.

That's all for now"

Many users in the comments openly ridiculed his Ukrainian past and service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, turning the sports issue into a political provocation. Other commentators sarcastically ignored the sports level of the club. Some users tried to justify their aggression, justifying it with the “level of journalism”.

Yuriy Vernidub explained that he left Ukraine on the basis of a “high-level permit”, which is valid until the end of 2026, after which he is obliged to return.
