Marino Pusic will become the new head coach of Shakhtar Donetsk, transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano reported on Monday. Arne Slot’s assistant coach at Feyenoord once again gets the chance to stand on his own two feet with the Ukrainian Champions League participant. According to the Italian journalist, Pusic will be presented in Ukraine on Tuesday. In Donetsk he will succeed Patrick van Leeuwen, who was fired last week.
According to 1908.nl Shakhtar reported in De Kuip last week. After it became clear that Pusic wanted a move to Ukraine, it seems that it will actually happen. Slot’s right-hand man is still tied up in South Rotterdam until mid-2025, which means Shakhtar will most likely transfer a buyout sum to Feyenoord.
Shakhtar are said to be impressed by the tactical acumen and leadership qualities of Pusic, who has already been personally involved with the club. An agreement between Feyenoord and Shakhtar is expected in the short term, as the Champions League participant wants to present Pusic on Tuesday.
