โ€œI spent five years with the National team. It was hard work that proved that we are capable of playing modern football. I am grateful to the president and the executive committee of the UAF for the opportunity to work with the Ukrainian National team.

โ€œI am thankful to every player, every person who helped and was involved in the team.

โ€œMany thanks to all the fans for their support and criticism. Together, we managed to show that our football can be competitive, productive and exciting.โ€
