Myron Markevych and Yuriy Kalitvintsev will take charge of the Ukraine national team and replace Oleksiy Mykhailychenko, whose contract expired in November. The decision was made by the Executive Committee of the Football Federation of Ukraine (FFU) on Monday 1 February in Kyiv.

Markevych currently heads FC Metalist Kharkiv, which is third in the Ukrainian Premier League table, while his new assistant Yuriy Kalitvitsev coaches Dynamo-2. Both coaches will be able to combine their club commitments and international duties.

The Blue-Yellows will play their first match under new coaches, a friendly against national team of Ghana, in May.
