Paulo Fonseca, coach of the champion of Ukraine Shakhtar, outlined what the team will focus in the new season.
Debut year Fonseca at Shakhtar was divided into two parts – the unconditional domination in the domestic arena (winning the championship and Cup of Ukraine), and modest results in the European Cup (second qualifying round of the Champions League Shakhtar dramatic lost to “the young Boys”, and in the 1/16 finals of the Europa League in overtime lost “Celta”).
Thanks to the victory in the championship of Ukraine “Shakhtar” have guaranteed themselves direct qualification to the group stage of the Champions League with the Pitmen when the draw will be in the first basket.
“The second season will be much harder. I first work for the second year in a row in the same club, I’m curious to experience it. Objectives — win the League and exit the Champions League group stage”, – quotes the words of Fonseca, the Portuguese newspaper “Maisfutebol”.
It is expected that during the summer transfer company “Shakhtar” will focus on keeping their players and will not make major acquisitions.
