As the Ukrainian Second League is a fully-professional league, and his spell as Head Coach is verified by this, he meets WP:NFOOTBALL and is therefore eligible for an article. Giant Snowman 12:17, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Great as he has been a prominant soccer coach in America and really broke through a barrier becoming the first American to be Head coach of a Professional Soccer Team in Ukraine and the former Soviet Union.

I will have a go at drafting an article over the next few days. Giant Snowman 12:34, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
