“French specialist David Betton told about his conversation with the President of the Kiev Club”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
– Is it true that you could work in Dynamo?
– Yes. At first, Victor Kazansky, who is one of the club managers, addressed me. Dynamo President Igor Surkis invited me to Poland while preparing for a game with McCabi. I had a long conversation with the head coach Alexander Shovkovsky. The club viewed me as an advisor who will propose a club development plan – from the point of view of strategy, tactics and development of youth. At the last moment, something changed, they changed their opinion, although the President was very active in the negotiations.
– You communicated with Dynamo President. What role did he see for you in the club? Is the technical director, manager, sports director?
– We discussed my appointment with the President in Dynamo in the position of technical director or advisor, which he personally saw in four points. Tips for the first team for the development of the technical and tactical training process. The second is how to develop an academy, because for me Dynamo is a club that always had good football players. Third – breeding tips. I have weight and dating that can affect the good transitions of players. And one more – tips on physical training, nutrition and treatment.
It was even the idea of bringing Tophachists from Real Madrid. For example, a nutritionist who would give the right advice. I already have a painted project that I presented to the President. We discussed everything with Igor Surkis, but at the last moment we received, say, a negative answer, – said Betton.
