The legendary goalkeeper Alexander Shovkovsky, a former player of the White-Blues, has joined the Dynamo coaching staff. He will become one of the assistants to Dynamo head coach Mircea Lucescu.

On January 11, Alexander Vladimirovich signed a contract with his native club. The agreement, like that of the entire headquarters, is valid until the end of the 2023/24 season. After signing all the documents in the club office, Dynamo First Vice-President Vitaliy Sivkov congratulated Shovkovsky on his return to his native club and wished him victories together with the people of Kiev in his new status - one of the club's coaches.
