Dynamo Kiev made an offer to the best Ukrainian football player Andrey Shevchenko to continue his career in his native club, where he played from 1994 to 1999. “The offer has been made. We are waiting for an answer. Either he gives the go-ahead or he makes a different decision. My soul and heart are open to him. Valery Georgievich Gazzaev does not object to Shevchenko joining the team,” club president Igor Surkis told the Ukrainian newspaper Segodnya.
The transfer of the 2004 Ballon d'Or winner now belongs to London's Chelsea. However, the forward, who will turn 33 in September, played the last season on loan in Milan. But even at the club where Shevchenko spent his best years, the striker failed to regain his previous form. Current Chelsea coach Carlo Ancelotti has not yet made any statements regarding Shevchenko, with whom he successfully worked in Italy. However, the British media doubt that the Ukrainian will remain in London, and Roma and Monaco are mentioned as possible options for continuing Shevchenko’s career.
Sergei Kushchenko will take up biathlon
Well-known sports manager Sergei Kushchenko has been appointed executive director of the Russian Biathlon Union. “Sergey is the man who created the most successful Russian sports project - the professional basketball club CSKA and brought it into the elite of world basketball. A similar task has been set before him now - to make the RBU an exemplary sports federation not only at the Russian, but also at the world level,” said RBU President Mikhail Prokhorov.
When Kushchenko headed PBC CSKA, Prokhorov was a co-owner of the club. Then Sergei Kushchenko took the post of head of the Federal State Institution of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation “Central Sports Club of the Army”. After the order to disband the “big” CSKA, he went to work at the Ministry of Justice.
