The management of the Kyiv football club Dynamo has decided to appoint Igor Kostyuk as the team’s head coach, according to the Dynamo FC press service.

“Igor Volodymyrovych is a talented coach who has been working at our club for many years. He has trained more than one generation of talented young players, many of whom now play at the highest level in Europe’s top leagues. He knows Dynamo’s young players well and is not afraid to trust young players who have already proven themselves at the first team level. He is a coach who knows how to find the right approach to players,” club president Igor Surkis is quoted as saying on the club’s website.

The club’s management has complete confidence in Kostyuk and believes that he is capable of leading the team to its rightful place in Ukrainian and European football.

As reported, on November 28, the management of Kyiv’s Dynamo decided to dismiss the entire coaching staff of the team, headed by Oleksandr Shovkovskyi, from their duties, according to an official statement by the capital club on the Dynamo website. Shovkovskyi and the team were dismissed after the team’s unsatisfactory results in recent matches.

Igor Kostyuk was appointed acting head coach of the Kyiv giants.
