Ukrainian journalist was called an idiot for the words about the death of Gamula

On December 8, the editor-in-chief of the Ukrainian Football magazine Artem Frankov criticized the Ukrainian newspaper Segodnya, which published the news about the death of the former Rostov coach Igor Gamula with a provocative headline.

“I don’t know what idiot was there that weaved, but a famous and famous man, loved by many for his charm and spontaneity, died,” Sport-Express quotes Frankov.

Earlier in the day, the Ukrainian newspaper Segodnya reported on the death of Gamula, publishing news with the headline “Died scandalous Ukrainian coach who considered himself a patriot of Russia.” The author of the material recalled the words of the ex-coach, who, when asked who he feels like, once answered: “Of course, a Russian. I am a patriot of Russia. “

The death of 61-year-old Gamula became known on December 8. According to the former Chornomorets player Roman Oreshchuk, his death could have been caused by hypoglycemic shock.

The coach of “Rostov” Vitaly Kafanov called the death of the coach shocking news. Kafanov said that recently they rarely crossed paths with Gamula, while the former coach of the club did not say anything about his health.

Condolences in connection with the death of Gamula were also expressed by the former vice-president of “Rostov” Alexander Shikunov. He described the coach as a great footballer and soul man.

The match of the 18th round of Tinkoff of the Russian Premier League, Rostov – Ural, on December 11, will begin with a minute of silence in memory of Gamula.
