Mathematical Writing, February 25 (EFE). Spain’s Luis Cortes, coach of the Ukrainian women’s football team and former women’s coach of FC Barcelona, along with his partner Jordi Escora, the team’s physical coach, managed to reach the city on Friday from Lviv, in western Ukraine, where he hopes to cross the border with Poland.
After a 19-hour road trip from Kiev, Cortes and Escora find themselves in a hotel in constant contact with various organizations to decide how to leave the country.
“We are holding meetings with the Ukrainian Football Federation, the Spanish Football Federation, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Spanish Embassy, the Supreme Sports Council and the Generalitat to organize our departure from the country,” Cortes said in a letter to the federation. The media.
Cortes and Escora, both residents of Spain, arrived in Kiev last Wednesday to settle a banking deal just hours before Russia launched a large-scale military operation against Ukraine.
After consulting with the Spanish embassy, both on Thursday made a road trip from the Ukrainian capital to the west of the country thanks to a truck provided by the Ukrainian Football Association.
In the past hours, Liida’s coach recounted on his Twitter the experiences of the trip, which was marked by the collapse of roads near Kiev.
“All highway lanes are occupied in the direction of Lviv. Finally our driver decided to go in reverse to gain time. Thousands and thousands and thousands of people are leaving Kiev, and many of them leave everything behind and do not know where to go,” he explained.
Curtis and Skora finally arrived in Lviv this morning after the truck driver asked them to leave the main road.
Cortes coached the Barcelona women’s team until last summer, when he left FC Barcelona after winning the La Reina Cup, La Liga, and the Champions League. After her successful performance, last November she agreed to take charge of the Ukrainian women’s team.
