Starting from 1992, during the entire history of the 31st championship of Ukraine, 278 head coaches managed the actions of the teams. The list of veterans of the Ukrainian championships is headed by Myron Markevich, who at the head of six clubs managed the actions of his wards in 23 (!) seasons.
Among the coaches who took part in the last Championship, we will single out Mircha Lucescu ("Dynamo"), who is preparing for his 16th season in the UPL. According to this indicator, the Romanian Dynamo coach will be one point ahead of Valery Yaremchenko and will take the 3rd (!) place in the list of coaches with the most seasons.
