Oleh Blokhin will remain to be the head coach of the Ukrainian national team until 2014, the president of the Football Federation of Ukraine Hryhoriy Surkis said in the interview.

"As Ukraine came from behind to beat the Sweades, the fee will be not 500 thousand but a million euros," Surkis promised.
