The Italian specialist said goodbye to the team because he can leave the club.
Head coach of Shakhtar Donetsk Roberto De Derby made a statement about his future after the friendly match with Hajduk (3: 3).
In a comment to the Pitmen's press service, the Italian specialist said he could leave the club:
“Emotional day, very sad. Because maybe it was my last day as Shakhtar coach. I talked to everyone: the players, the club's management. If there is a championship, I would like to stay here , and if the opposite happens and there is no championship, then I would like to start a normal life and continue working.
There is one big problem right now – it's time. This is what makes me most worried about staying. “
De Derby also said that for him, sports moments do not play a decisive role in this matter:
” Currently I do not think at all about what o for football, for sports. My decision to stay here if there is a championship does not depend on whether we will have the opportunity to play in the European Cups or whether we will have a strong team to win immediately. It was very important for me that we all ended this period together, because if I left the club now, I would not be able to finish our journey. “
