So-called “Football Union of DPR” was headed by native from Horlovka Igor Petrov. He was the main trainer of Chercassy “Slavutich” (now “Dnepr”)  in 2013.

One time he worked in the trainer’s HQ of Donetsk “Shakhter” at the invitation of Rinat Akhmetov. Now, Petrov is watching and satisfying with playing of the “republic” commands of the “mega level” of miner’s townships. There are such “stars” as “Mospino”, “Zugres” and “Tsemetnik” among them.

We would remind that self-proclaimed “DPR” is going to create football command under the name “Shakhter”.
