Paulo Fonseca has praised the football community for their response to the Russia-Ukraine War after he was forced to flee war-torn country with his wife and toddler.
Russian president Vladimir Putin made the call to invade neighbouring Ukraine last month, leading to thousands of deaths in eastern Europe. Fonseca is married to Ukrainian TV star Katerina Ostroushko and was residing in the sovereign country with his family until the war started.
Fonseca won three Ukranian Premier League titles, three Ukraianian Cups and the Ukranian Super Cup during his three-year spell in charge of Shakhtar Donetsk. The Portuguese coach has previously been linked with Tottenham and Newcastle.
