Ukraine national team head coach Andriy Shevchenko told about his plans after the European championship.

The fact that Andriy Shevchenko is closely watched by clubs from Italy is far from a secret. In a very short time, the Ukrainian specialist was able to convince the football world that his minimal coaching experience was sufficient for high-quality work. With him, the Ukraine national team from the first place went to Euro 2020, beating Portugal, the reigning champions of the continent in the qualification.

Although many experts say that the lion's share of the Blue-and-Yellow's merit is the Ukrainians’ qualified coaching staff, his contribution to the triumph of the national team is considerable. Whatever one may say, but it is he, as a manager, who, having listened to his colleagues, chooses tactics for the upcoming games. Under Shevchenko, Ukraine overcame Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and drew with France.

The coach himself does not speak about the future very specifically in comparison with the German specialists in the current season. But some shortcuts can still be caught,

“I would like to work as a coach in Italy. When my adventure with Ukraine is over, I want to coach the club. Now I am focused on the national team, because preparations for the European Championship will begin soon, after which I will look around,” Calciomercato quotes Shevchenko’s words.

The first thing in our minds isItalian Milan. The club, to which Sheva devoted his best years as a football player, can give Andriy Mykolayovych a chance as a coach. Moreover, despite the spurt at the start of the season and the leadership position until February, many questions remain for Pioli. A straightforward and slightly British style of play cannot win medals in modern football if it is not a cup competition.

But on the other hand, memories of the failures of Inzaghi, Gattuso, Seedorf and other Rossoneri legends are fresh in our minds. We would not like to see Shevchenko's name with them in the same line. Therefore, for a start, it would be nice for the Ukrainian to work with conditional Fiorentina, where the risk of failure is less due to the loyalty of the tournament tasks. This issue requires stages and sequence of actions. We think Andriy Shevchenko understands this and will not make mistakes looking at the fails of his former teammates.
