The specialist commented on his decision as follows:
“Unfortunately, the start of the season is not what we planned. I need to make a statement. I already spoke with the guys in the locker room. Now is the time to say it at the press conference. It is not the start we wanted. Something is wrong. , so it’s probably time to go, turn the page, no matter how offensive and bitter it may sound.
I spent a lot of time in this club, more than 20 years. Both as a player and as a coach. Then it is time to change something. We go with our coaching staff. I would like to thank everyone, the fans.
Many thanks to the management, to the president, Rusol, to the guys who have been with us all this time during the years we spent together. Because of the attitude they gave me. For the support they provided. Now is the time for the ship to change its captain. No matter how offensive it sounds, it’s time to go.
I’m sure this team has a great future. We have a great team. Even if something hasn’t worked lately, something has gone astray, some chemistry is missing. So it’s time to turn the page and move on to the team and me as a coach.
Once again I want to thank all the fans. I really felt the support of the fans, the leadership during the whole time I was here.
I am sure there will be European cups next year. I am sure this team is capable of a lot, it is capable of winning more times, of earning points. So thank you all. You need to move forward and look forward with your head held high, “Mikhailenko said.
Recall that Mikhailenko worked as Dnipro-1’s head coach since the club’s founding, played with the Second and First League team, and also debuted last season in the Premier League.
