Former Arsenal defender Oleh Luzhnyi is putting his career on hold in his native Ukraine.
The ex-Gunner, who spent four years at the club and won the Premier League, spoke about the horrific situation in the country after the recent Russian invasion.
Luzhnyi, the first Ukrainian to win the Premier League, says that he will stay in the country and fight for his people before considering any coaching roles in the UK or around Europe.
"The situation is horrific," he told Sky Sports via a Whatsapp message.
"I want to come to coach in the UK but before anything I will stand firmly and fight for my people, for my country and for democracy.
"We all hope this will be over soon as innocent lives are being lost and families are being torn apart. A country being invaded and destroyed is all for what? We need to stand together as one and bring to an end this criminal warfare."
