A corresponding discussion was also held with Igor Kostyuk. The president’s proposal came as a surprise to the „Dynamo U-19“ coach, but he was not given much time to reflect.
Shovkovskiy’s coaching staff was dismissed. This includes veterans—66-year-old goalkeeper coach Mykhailo Mykhaylov, as well as 62-year-old analyst Oleksandr Kozlov. However, there are two exceptions.
Kostyuk will be assisted by two specialists from the previous staff. These are 40-year-old fitness coach Vitaliy Kulyba and 45-year-old set-piece specialist Matej Kendzior.
Currently, there is no directive regarding the appointment of Yuriy Moroz, who returned to the club’s structure, as the head of the youth team „Dynamo“. A final decision on Kostyuk’s successor will be made shortly.
Along with Kostyuk, his assistant—Oleh Venglynskyi—is moving to the first team from „Dynamo U-19“. In addition, the acting head coach wants to invite a foreign specialist to his staff,» the source reported.
