Serhiy Rebrov rejects offers from sheikhs and Dynamo after stepping down from the national team ![Serhiy Rebrov at a press conference of the French national team: reflecting on the future after resignation](https://xab.info/media/2026/08/15/rebrov-otkazalsya-ot-predlozheniy-sheykhi-i-dinamo/rebrov-otkazalsya-ot-predlozheniy-sheykhi-i-dinamo-1.webp) ## 🎯 Key Points - Serhiy Rebrov rejected offers from Saudi Arabia and the UAE, despite high salaries. - The coach also declined an offer from Kyiv Dynamo to return to the bench. - Rebrov holds the position of vice-president of the UAF and is likely taking a break from coaching. A debate is brewing within the Ukrainian football establishment regarding the future of one of the country's most influential coaches. Serhiy Rebrov, who recently left his post as head coach of the Ukrainian national team, faced a difficult choice that could have radically changed his career and financial situation. However, according to the latest data, the specialist made a decision that surprised many experts and fans. ### Rejecting "golden" offers from the Middle East According to the "TaToTake" project, representatives of two clubs from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates approached the former national team coach. These are regions where Rebrov already has successful experience and where coaches' salaries traditionally skyrocket. The sheikhs' offers were extremely attractive: the figure was between 2 and 2.5 million euros per year personally for the coach. For comparison, the entire coaching staff of the Ukrainian national team under Rebrov received a total of about 2 million euros. Thus, moving to one of the Arab clubs would have meant not only a change of location but also a significant increase in personal income. ### Why the coach chose a pause Despite the fact that Arab clubs offered a significantly higher salary than in the national team, Rebrov rejected both options. This step indicates his desire to take a break from active coaching. After resigning as the head of the national team, Serhiy Rebrov remains without active practice, holding only the administrative position of vice-president of the Ukrainian Association of Football (UAF). Apparently, the desire to rest from the hustle and pressure prompted him to reject even such favorable financial conditions. ### Relations with Kyiv Dynamo and Ihor Surkis In addition to options from the Middle East, the president of Kyiv Dynamo, Ihor Surkis, contacted Rebrov in the summer. During a personal meeting, the parties discussed the possible return of the specialist to the bench of the "white and blues." This offer was also rejected by the 52-year-old coach. For now, Serhiy Rebrov's future in big football remains uncertain, and his decision not to return to the club where he started his journey raises many questions. ### Contradictory data There are different points of view regarding the reasons for Rebrov's refusal. Some sources point to fatigue and a desire to rest, while others suggest that the coach may be looking for more ambitious projects in Europe. Moreover, there is an opinion that the refusal to work at Dynamo may be related to the club's failures in European competitions, where the Kyiv team lost to "Karabakh" and ended their campaign prematurely. The head of the sports editorial office of RBC-Ukraine, Daniil Vereitin, analyzes the recent failures of the Kyiv team on the domestic and external arenas, which may also influence the decisions of coaches. ### The future of Ukrainian football Serhiy Rebrov's decision not to return to active coaching may have far-reaching consequences for Ukrainian football. His experience and authority may be in demand in other roles, for example, in administrative work or as a consultant. For now, the coach's future remains in question, and everyone is waiting for his next step. ## 🔍 Fact-Check Verification - [Rebrov received a generous offer: will the coach stay in the national team](https://glavred.info/sport/rebrov-poluchil-shchedroe-predlozhenie-ostanetsya-li-trener-v-sbornoy-10756604.html) - Подтверждает информацию о предложениях из Саудовской Аравии и ОАЭ. - [Rebrov officially left the post of head coach of the Ukrainian national team](https://www.kp.ru/sports/futbol/proval-v-stykah-i-razryv-sbornaya-ukrainy-ostalas-bez-glavnogo-trenera/) - Подтверждает отставку Реброва со сборной Украины. ## ❓ FAQ ### Q: Why did Serhiy Rebrov reject offers from Saudi Arabia and the UAE? **A:** Rebrov likely decided to take a break from coaching, despite the high salaries. ### Q: What offers did Rebrov receive from Kyiv Dynamo? **A:** Ihor Surkis offered Rebrov to return to the Dynamo bench, but he refused. ### Q: What position does Serhiy Rebrov currently hold? **A:** Rebrov holds the position of vice-president of the UAF.
