Since 2012, in the history of 12 Ukrainian U-19 championships, 142 coaches have led 35 clubs.
Among them, we would like to highlight the current Dynamo manager Ihor Kostiuk, who increased the number of his games to 157 (!) with each round, securing a foothold at the top of the list of youth mentors from the Guards.
Among the current coaches of the youth teams, we would like to mention Vasyl Baranov (Vorskla) and Oleksandr Pozdeyev (Kolos), who were among the top ten Guardsmen youth coaches during the competition.
In the second part of the youth championship, Viktor Bytsyura (Oleksandriya) may also enter the top ten, having already won 76 games and being only 3 points behind Valerii Kryventsov.
