“It had to be done.” Ashur first named the reason for release from Polesie

Already former head coach “Polesie” Imad Ashur He called the reason for his release from the Zhytomyr club.

– The statement “Polesie” was the following phrase: “The events that took place today in the club became the subject of internal analysis.” What does this mean? What about events?

– About the wording – it was a little strange and could be interpreted as you want. I assume that there were many such interpretations, but at some point in the media made a version that I had requirements for the club. It was a request against the background of certain circumstances. Given the fact that we had to work out at least two weeks, two matches if necessary to win. Therefore, in my opinion, it was necessary to make some movements. Without this, it would be extremely difficult to focus on final matches. And if you do not focus, it affects all around, including the probable result.

– Is it true that this concerned a request to amend the coaching staff? If so, could you explain in more detail?

– I do not want to go much, because in terms of corporate ethics it seems to me that the details should be stored inside. How this information went beyond the club at all is not a question to me. For some reason, information is not kept inside the club. A lot of this information. But yes, the requirements concerned both changes to the coaching staff and the refutation of previous rumors discussed in the media.

– That is, you had a misunderstanding or differences in ideas with coaches that remained from the previous headquarters?

– I do not think that it is about differences in ideas. In general, this topic is too voluminous to describe it now. Just the time I had to take a certain step that I had to take much earlier. But in this case, the decision that followed. The club made a choice.

– How was the release in general? Who reported you about the decision and was there a specific reason?

– The decision was voiced by people from the club management. Quickly, specific enough. And that the reason was the differences in my requirements. The next day there was still a final conversation with the President. Absolutely calm, with respect, as always. A little sentimental, possibly.
