President of FC Shakhtar Donetsk, Ukrainian business tycoon Rinat Akhmetov has said he is ready to pay salary to a famous European coach who will be willing to train the Ukrainian national football team.
“I would like to remove the issue that we do not have funds for a good specialist from the agenda. I can publicly state that if we need a very good European specialist, I am ready to pay him salary from my fund,” he told journalists in Kyiv on Monday.
Akhmetov stressed that should the Football Federation of Ukraine (FFU) decide to invite a well-known European coach for the national team, the salary would not be an issue.
It is more important to decide what type of a coach the national team needs and who is able to bring it to a new level, the businessman said.
