Markevych quits as Metalist coach, cites club’s debts and salary arrearsMyron Markevych resigned as head coach of the Metalist Kharkiv soccer club, according to an interview he gave to Football 24 web portal.
Metalist press service head Maksym Sukachov wouldn’t comment on the matter.
Markevych said that the players have for three months not received salary payments, and added that the club is “falling apart right before my eyes and I don’t want to bear witness to this.” He continued: “I have no other choice, this is going on for too long. There are constant debts…this cannot continue.”
Metalist belongs to Serhiy Kurchenko, a young billionaire whose net worth Korrespondent magazine said was worth an estimated $2.4 billion, but who political experts say is a proxy and is part of ex-President Viktor Yanukovych’s inner-circle. Kurchenko has denied having connections to Yanukovych or his family members.
However, the previous unknown businessman saw his wealth shoot through the roof in 2013 with Korrespondent including him on its annual richest list for the first time.
He bought the team in December 2012 from multi-millionaire Oleksandr Yaroslavsky. Markevych noted that Kurchenko didn’t know much about soccer.
“Let him not take offense, but he (Kurchenko) was far from football,” said Markevych.

All players will trigger a release clause next week and will leave.Da quel che ho capito il patron Kurchenko,ucraino di nascita,ha forti interessi con la Russia:proprio per questo sta scappando dall'Ucraina per timori di possibili ritorsioni a causa dei suoi legami con l'ormai ex presidente Yanukovich.
Praticamente il Papu Gomez potrebbe svincolarsi ed essere acquistato da chiunque Anche Cleiton,Devic farebbero comodo a molte squadre italiane,fermo restando che spero per i tifosi ucraini che non si arrivi alle cessioni di massa...
Spero di sbagliarmi,qualcuno ha altre notizie a riguardo?
