“Football is my passion”: the legendary Dynamo player hinted at a return and spoke about what is holding him back now

Oleksiy Mykhaylychenko, the legendary former Dynamo Kyiv footballer and former coach of the Ukrainian national team, unexpectedly spoke about a possible return to professional football.

“Nostalgia is a pleasant feeling. From time to time, I remember positive moments, both as a player and as a coach,” he noted.

Mykhaylychenko emphasized that a specific position is not important to him – the main thing is that he can help Ukrainian football and remain part of this process.

“For now, the most important thing is to survive this terrible war, and then look to the future. Football is my life, and I will always be a part of it in one form or another,” the former footballer said in an interview.
