Ukrainian coach Yuriy Vernydub has become the new head coach of the Azerbaijani football club 'Neftchi'. He signed a contract for one and a half years with the possibility of extending the cooperation. The coach's monthly salary will amount to 50 thousand dollars.
Yuriy Vernydub has extensive experience in coaching, leading both Ukrainian and Moldovan clubs. He has been recognized as 'Coach of the Year' in both Ukraine and Moldova for his successful work. However, he currently faces difficulties leaving Ukraine due to restrictions related to the martial law, but an exception may be made.
It is also worth noting that the coach previously declined job offers in other countries due to socio-political circumstances. He had to make this difficult choice in favor of a new sporting challenge in Azerbaijan.
