Ralf Rangnick was the star guest at a theoretical seminar and practical module for Ukrainian trainers in Kiev on Friday. In a three-part speech, the Austrian football coach talked about his vision for the style of play, his philosophy and the principles that translate these ideas from paper to the pitch. The Germans then answered questions for about an hour before the 103 participants took the stage.
Rangnick once again revealed to professional and academy coaches on Friday that Valery Lobanovski was one of his role models in the 1980s. “At the beginning of my coaching career, I met Valeryj Lobanovskyi, who brought Dynamo Kyiv to Germany to train. At Ruit, I watched Lobanovskyi’s team play Every training. Football vision,” said the 66-year-old.
Despite the war in Ukraine, “he is very happy and honored to be here today”. He immediately agreed after receiving a call from Ukrainian Football Federation President Andrei Shevchenko. “It’s very important to me to share information with people in person, not online,” Rangnick said. Shevchenko described the ÖFB coach as an expert who has made many contributions to the development of world football. “He is a professional who respects Ukrainian football. Coming to Kiev at such a difficult time for our country is especially admirable,” the former star striker said.
Russia launched an invasion of neighboring countries in February 2022. The battle continues. Rangnick recently held an ÖFB Insight player course in Lindabrunn, accompanied by ÖFB video analyst Stefan Oesen. The seminar was held at the headquarters of the Ukrainian association, next to the Kyiv Olympic Stadium, where the UEFA Euro 2012 final was held. The return journey is planned for Saturday.
