Former Dynamo coach Bohodielov announced the end of his coaching career
MP from European Solidarity Oleksii Honcharenko defended former Dynamo coach Vyacheslav Bohodielov, who was fined for conducting sessions in Russian. This was reported by Hlavkom with reference to his post on Facebook.
Former goalkeeper for many domestic teams Vyacheslav Bohodielov caused a scandal over a fine for violating language legislation. The coach published a screenshot from Diia about the enforcement proceeding with the fine. According to him, the penalty was issued for conducting training in Russian.
Later Bohodielov announced the end of his coaching career. “I am suspending all my social media pages! I am stopping all my coaching activities!” he said.
Honcharenko defended Bohodielov. “Basically, why should we train goalkeepers? Why look for new football stars? Why should children strive for anything? Let’s close everything, ban everything, and sit and worship Zelensky. Or all the other little stars from the authorities who chirp in Russian when the cameras are off,” he wrote.
Honcharenko’s post provoked a storm of comments online. Some users condemned the position of the MP and the coach, emphasizing the importance of the Ukrainian language.
At the same time, some commenters supported Honcharenko and Bohodielov.
Bohodielov was born and raised in Kyiv. At the elite level he played for Ternopil’s Nyva, Donetsk’s Metalurh, Poltava’s Vorskla, and Kharkiv’s Metalist. For many years he worked at Dynamo Kyiv’s youth sports school and with Ukraine’s junior national teams, and recently coached children at Evolution Football Academy.
Recall, former goalkeeper for many domestic teams Vyacheslav Bohodielov caused a scandal over a fine for violating language legislation. The coach published a screenshot from Diia about the enforcement proceeding with the fine. Bohodielov must pay 11426 UAH. According to him, the penalty was issued for conducting training in Russian.
In his defense Bohodielov resorted to classic clichés. First, he was surprised that no one had been bothered for 50 years by his use of Russian. Then the ex-goalkeeper said he had heard “purely Ukrainian language” only in the diaspora. And for dessert he played the military card, saying that soldiers hadn’t paid attention to his Russian during visits to the Zaporizhzhia direction.
