Black Sea General Director Ponomaryov Hints at Vasilenkos Continued Role with the Team

The CEO of «Chornomorets,» Maksym Ponomaryov, acknowledged that head coach Oleg Vasilenko may remain with the club. It’s worth noting that earlier, Chornomorets investor Serhiy Shishkaryov revealed he had become aware of an attempt to manipulate a match at the end of the last season in the Melbet First League. In the 34th round, Chornomorets triumphed over Sochi with a score of 2:1.

“It is evident that Vasilenko supported Shishkaryov. He claims there was a conversation in which I suggested he throw a game, but that’s also untrue. I’m uncertain about his future. He has a valid contract with the club, and all matters regarding collaboration will be addressed in the usual manner.

“— Do you think Vasilenko will continue with the team?”
“— I can’t say for sure. Most likely, yes,” Ponomaryov stated in an interview with Championship correspondent Yegor Kabak.
