We officially announced this event on our Instagram page, ending with a farewell speech to patients.. Zahisnik, who gave football 30 rocks of his life, acknowledging all the honorable things before his formation:.
“I want to go wild to my skin pain from the skin of the football world. To all football clubs, I am honored to thank you. Give shan to the skin coach, skin team partner, skin supernik and skin club attendant. Today I will complete the stage of my life as a professional football player, having won 30 trophies on the highest level."
Rakytskyi’s football journey began on the youth level near the city of Pavlodar, but the key moment was the destruction of the Shakhtar structure in the 13-river city. In his life, Yaroslav saw those who reminded him with a keen eye: the first coach Pavel Dulinov, the coach of the reserve team Valeriy Yaremchenko and the football Yangol - Mirchu Lucescu, who revealed the talent of the defender in the first team.
I’ll be happy to say something to the president of the club, Rinat Akhmetov, and the Russian Academy.. He played 358 matches for the Donetsk Shakhtar Rakitskiy Province, scoring 18 goals (most of them with firm pressure shots from the left foot) and providing 35 assists.

In 2019, he left the Donetsk club and moved to the Russian Zenit. Prote after the beginning of the large-scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine, Gravec terminated the contract with the club of the aggressor country. After a troublesome exchange with the Turkish Adana Demirspor, in 2023 it was inevitable that Rakitsky would return to the native Shakhtar.
