Ukrainian Football Association (UAF) has announced the termination of the contract with the head coach of the U-17 national team, Oleksandr Moroz. This decision was made after the team failed to qualify for the Euro-2025 tournament.
Moroz, who took over the team in 2019, was unable to lead them to success in the recent qualifying rounds. Despite having a talented group of players, the team was unable to secure a spot in the second round of the qualifiers. This disappointing result led to the UAF’s decision to part ways with Moroz.
However, it is worth noting that Moroz’s tenure with the U-17 national team was not without its successes. Under his guidance, the team showed promising results in various international tournaments and friendly matches. Moroz also played a crucial role in developing young players and preparing them for the senior national team.
The UAF has already started the search for a new head coach for the U-17 team. They are looking for a coach who can bring fresh ideas and a new approach to the team. The main criteria for the new coach will be their ability to work with young players and their track record of success.
One of the main challenges for the new coach will be to lead the team to the Euro-2025 tournament. The U-17 national team has not qualified for this prestigious tournament since 2008. The UAF is determined to change this and has set high expectations for the new coach.
In the meantime, the UAF has appointed a temporary coach to lead the team in the upcoming friendly matches. This will give the association more time to carefully select the right candidate for the head coach position.
The decision to terminate Moroz’s contract was not an easy one for the UAF. He was a highly respected coach and had a good relationship with the players. However, the UAF believes that this change is necessary for the development of the U-17 national team.
The UAF is confident that with the right coach, the U-17 team will be able to achieve great success in the future. The association is committed to investing in the development of young players and providing them with the best opportunities to reach their full potential.
The U-17 national team is an important stepping stone for young players on their journey to the senior national team. The UAF understands the importance of this and is determined to provide the best possible environment for the players to grow and improve.
In conclusion, the UAF’s decision to terminate Moroz’s contract may have come as a surprise to many, but it was made with the best interests of the U-17 national team in mind. The association is determined to find a new coach who can lead the team to success and bring back the glory days of Ukrainian football. The future looks bright for the U-17 national team, and the UAF is committed to supporting them every step of the way.
