Ruslan Rotan is being courted by a club from Saudi Arabia, source says.

The 'Oleksandria' coach Ruslan Rotan received an offer from a club in Saudi Arabia. This was reported by journalist Viktor Vatsko. According to him, Rotan does not know the exact name of the club or the details of the offer. However, he confirmed that he has not received any official offers from Ukrainian teams. Rotan's contract with 'Oleksandria' ends at the end of the season.

The most significant achievement of Rotan as a coach is the semi-final of the U21 Euro 2023, when Ukraine was able to qualify for the Olympics for the first time.

Today, the draw for the semi-finals of the 2024/2025 Ukraine Cup took place. It was attended by the head coach of the U-20 youth team of Ukraine Dmytro Mykhailenko and sports journalist Volodymyr Zverov.
