Meet Vlada Sedan, the amazing wife of former Manchester City star Oleksandr Zinchenko, a big TV star in his home country of Ukrɑine and has clɑshed with Pep Guardiola in the past.
As a sports presenter in his hometown, Vlada has interviewed some of the biggest names in the sport.
Working for Channel Football 1/2, Zinchenko’s wife spoke to the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Aguero or Andriy Shevchenko.
But the blonde also caused controversy when she criticized Pep Guardiola in 2020
After City were knocked out of the Champions League at the hands of Lyon, Sedan criticized the Catalan coach for Pep’s tactics.

Guardiola picked three centre-backs in a squad change that backfired and cost them the game.
Speaking on her YouTube channel, Sedan said: “Perhaps I have no right to say this, perhaps Zinchenko will forbid me. But to put it mildly, and in order not to swear, this is completely Guardiola’s fault.
“At such a crucial moment, making such an experimental tactic for Man City is a bummer.
Mrs Zinchenko was less than impressed by Pep Guardiola’s tactics
“I have no right to criticize, but why play three central defenders when the players themselves take their heads.
“I simply have no words, because to have such a line-up… look what players play at Man City, what a bench. Literally few clubs in the world can boast such reserves.”
Zinchenko had to apologise to his manager as a result in a statement – on his wedding day.
It read: “Although my wife is a journalist, she is also a fan. During the season she was traveling with us for all away and home games because she is a massive City fan.
“In the video you can see her emotions straight after the game and she gave an opinion like all fans do because she wanted us to do better.
“We totally understand now that she shouldn’t post it on social media because she is my wife. But she was not trying to make a journalist’s opinion on the manager.
“She was simply reacting to the disappointment as a fan.
“I’m writing right now from my wedding and instead of enjoying that unbelievable moment I have to do this because I can’t skip it and leave it like that. I hope you understand.”
