UAF President Andrei Pavelko admitted that Sergei Rebrov is the main candidate for the post of coach of the national team.

A couple of days ago, the President of the Ukrainian Football Association Andriy Pavelko announced that on Monday, August 9, the new coaching staff of the Ukrainian national team will be known.

However, Miron Markevich revealed his cards a little earlier, saying that he was leaving the UAF, and Serhiy Rebrov would head the Ukrainian national team..

Later, information appeared in foreign media that the management of the Al-Ain club, whose mentor was Sergey Rebrov, did not want to let the specialist go to the Ukrainian national team..

UAF President Andriy Pavelko admitted that Sergei Rebrov is indeed the main candidate for the post of coach of the Ukrainian national team and told how things are with the specialist's contract in the UAE.

" The Executive Committee will definitely take place on Monday, there will be considered issues not only of the Ukrainian national team. On the occasion of Rebrov and his club, I do not comment on this issue.. We need the headquarters that will lead the national team to the 2022 World Cup. I think that Rebrov is a prospect for several qualifying rounds. We want to see him in the national team. But there are circumstances that are important and there is no need to get ahead of ourselves..

Perhaps tomorrow we will hear the candidates, but the appointment may happen a little later.. For example, on Thursday.

In general, due to a weak start in the selection of the World Cup-2022, we see that the coaching staff was before the final stage of Euro-2024. It would help in the long run..

Today I saw Sergei, this is a crucial moment, but he understands all legal issues. He sees great potential in the national team, without considering options, they say, the chances for the 2022 World Cup are lost. He sees that there are chances, and they are great, "

Earlier it was reported that the Ukrainian national team defender Denis Popov was out for six months due to a cruciate ligament injury.
