Ukraine’s football supremo expressed shock over the resignation of Oleg Blokhin as national manager but said agreement had been reached for him to take charge of the squad for the next two World Cup qualifiers.
Dynamo Kyiv last week appointed the former Soviet striker as their coach, ending his tenure at the national team which he oversaw during their campaign at Euro 2012 that Ukraine co-hosted this summer.
“The news that Oleg Blokhin was taking over at Dynamo Kyiv and leaving the national team was unexpected and shocked us,” Ukraine’s football federation president Anatoliy Konkov told reporters.
