General Director of FC Lviv Andrei Pankiv commented on the reasons for the dismissal of the Brazilian specialist Gilmar from the post of the head coach of the team.
On the eve of the Brazilian head coach of FC Lviv Gilmar was dismissed because of the lack of a license to train the club.
- Andrew Yaroslavovich, like a bolt from the blue, FC Lions Gilmar deducted from his post as head coach. What dictated the decision of the club management to part with the Brazilian specialist?.
- Yesterday we received a letter from the Football Federation of Ukraine. It states that the head coach of the team must have a valid UEFA license of the PRO category or, at the time of the application, start training on the UEFA trainer training program for obtaining this license, and also have five years of experience as a head coach at the professional level. Thus, we were told that Gilmar can not hold the position of head coach.
- But since more than a month has passed since Gilmar headed FC Lviv. The coach spent with the team pre-season training, and the "townspeople" under his leadership have already played in four Premier League games. That is, during this period, FFU and ULP did not see violations of regulatory documents in the activities of the football club?.
- The leadership is not clear why the relevant authorities did not warn the club about the impossibility of employment Gilmar to the post of head coach in the offseason. FC Lviv adhered to all the necessary procedures for presenting the documents of the coach to the Committee for the attestation of football clubs of FFU and the Premier League.
In fact, we appealed to the FFU before the start of the season with a request for the possibility of the coach to fulfill his duties. We do not know why the answer to this question was received only now. Only now, after four matches played and before a very important game with Shakhtar, we were told the following shocking decision.
Moreover, according to this letter, Zhilmar's documents confirming the level of his coaching profession can not even be taken into account. Because in CONMEBOL and UEFA there is no agreement on mutual recognition of the qualifications of coaching diplomas. A number of other reasons are also indicated, which can be found directly in the copy of the document published on the club's official website.
What happened now is a complete surprise for us, but it's about the reputation of the club. We are not going to violate the regulations of FFU and ULL. Therefore, such a difficult management decision was made.
- How can the club get out of this situation, after all already on Saturday the Lvivians will take part in the home match of the championship of Ukraine with the Donetsk Miner?.
- The club management will promptly look for the acting coach of the team.
