Physical training specialist Ihor Kasyanenko, after long training sessions in Turkey, decided not to return to Ukraine and start a new life in the United States, namely in Miami. According to the report, the 36-year-old coach left Chornomorets after completing the team's preparations for the resumption of the season. Having left the country with the delegation of Chornomorets with the permission of the Ministry of Youth and Sports, Kasyanenko did not return within the stipulated time.
Ihor Kasyanenko joined the coaching staff of Chornomorets in January 2022, having previously worked with Roman Hryhorchuk in Kazakhstan's Astana and Shakhtar from Soligorsk in Belarus, as well as Zora in Luhansk and Polissa in Zhytomyr.
This case became another example of the use of temporary permission to leave abroad for relocation. Earlier, a similar step was taken by representatives of the media department of Kryvyi Rih Kryvbas and players of Shakhtar Donetsk.
