Shakhtar head coach Roberto De Derby told Italian journalists about his plans for the future.

I could train elsewhere, but all my thoughts are with my Shakhtar. I was interested in foreign clubs, but I don't even want to talk about it. I'm watching what's going on and I'd like to go back to Ukraine. We would have won this championship draw. I watch everything. From morning till night, “De Derby said.

We will remind, on February 24 the president of the Russian Federation Putin made the urgent statement on carrying out special military operation in the territory of Ukraine, having begun large-scale invasion of the Ukrainian cities.

The Italian, along with a number of foreign players, was forced to leave the country.

Later, FIFA suspended the contracts of foreign players and coaches with Ukrainian clubs, allowing them to find new jobs until June 30.
