Ukraine coach Mykhaylo Fomenko says he will quit after Tuesday’s last group game against Poland at Euro 2016. Even if Ukraine beat Poland they cannot overtake the third-placed Northern Ireland. Fomenko said on Monday that Ukraine’s two-year-old war stopped the country getting past the European Championship finals group stage. With two defeats against Germany and Northern Ireland to start Group C, Ukraine became the first team to be eliminated at Euro 2016, and have only pride to play for in the Stade Velodrome. “Football in Ukraine is not an exceptional thing, in our lives we have a very hard situation, a conflict situation, football is influenced by that,” Fomenko told reporters in Marseille ahead of their final match against Poland.
