What news is coming from the Apennines- the legendary Andriy Shevchenko wants to buy a club from the Italian Serie C, Pescara!
The Ukrainian, who tried his hand at coaching after a phenomenal playing career, now wants a new challenge, and Italian media write that in the coming days he will meet with the president of Pescara, Daniel Sebastiani, in order for the two to make an agreement under which Shevchenko will become majority owner of the club.
Pescara is currently in the third rank of Italian football, but the players of this club won a place in the playoffs after which they could return to Serie B.
During his playing days, Shevchenko wore the jerseys of Kiev’s Dinamo, Milan and Chelsea, made as many as 111 appearances for the Ukrainian national team, for which he scored 48 goals, and in 2004 he was the winner of the “Golden Ball”.
He was less successful as a coach – he led the national team of Ukraine and Genoa, from which he was fired after only 11 games.
