The specialist will work as the head coach.
Oleh Luzhny has been appointed the new head coach of the Ukraine U-19 youth national football team. Previously the team was coached by Dmytro Mykhailenko, who in July took charge of the U-21 national team.
This was reported by the official website of the UAF.
The former player of Kyiv's Dynamo has resumed his coaching career, which for him had ended in 2019. At that time Luzhny finished his work as an assistant to Oleksandr Khatskevych at the capital club.
The last time he was a head coach was in the 2012/13 season, when he led Simferopol's Tavriya. Before that, Luzhny twice served as acting head coach of Dynamo and was an assistant on the Kyiv club's coaching staff under various managers.
The 58-year-old specialist will lead the training camp and prepare the U-19 team for three friendly matches in Spain: on 24 September against Sweden, on 27 September against Germany, and on 30 September against Scotland.
In November the youth team will continue competing in the U-2027 European Championship qualifying in the second group stage, where it will meet Italy, Israel, and Romania.
Oleh Luzhny also remains the chairman of the UAF Professional Football Committee. He has held this position since the beginning of 2024.
Earlier it was reported that Ukrainian referees were appointed to the PSG match in the Champions League.
