SERHIY REBROV APPOINTED MANAGER OF FERENCVÁROS

Ukrainian coach Serhiy Rebrov has been appointed manager of Hungarian first-division soccer team Ferencváros, the club announced on Wednesday. “We negotiated with great names but finally opted for him. His achievements at the helm of Dynamo Kiev speak for themselves,” Ferencváros CEO Pál Orosz said. Rebrov, 44, is currently ranked 47th on the list of top managers, he noted. During his term in Kiev he was ranked 14th for a while, he added. Orosz did not disclose the duration of Rebrov’s contract. Up until now, Rebrov coached the Saudi team Al-Ahli. As manager of Dynamo Kiev from 2014 to 2017, he won two champion’s titles and took the Ukrainian Cup twice. Ferencváros’s previous coach, Thomas Doll of Germany, quit his post after nearly five years on Tuesday under mutual agreement.
