Shevchenko leaves the leadership of Ukraine after 5 years

Andriy Shevchenko has resigned after 5 years in charge of the Ukrainian National Team. The news was announced by the 44-year-old through a post on social networks.

Ukraine made a historic appearance at Euro 2020, when under Shevchenko it reached the quarterfinals. But despite this, the former Milan striker has decided not to extend his contract.

"Today, my contract with the Football Federation of Ukraine ended. I spent five years with the national team. It was hard work, which proved that we are capable of playing modern football. I am grateful to the president and the Executive Committee of the Federation for the opportunity they gave me to work with the Ukrainian national team. I am grateful to every player, every person who helped and joined the team. Many thanks to all the fans for their support and criticism. "Together we managed to show that our football can be competitive, productive and exciting," Shevchenko wrote.

Not long ago, he expressed the desire to one day be at the helm of Milan as a coach, where he excelled and as a player.
