Former head coach of Dynamo Kyiv Oleksandr Shovkovskyi was supposed to leave his post in August 2025 after an unsuccessful performance in the Champions League qualifiers.
In the third round of the European Cup, the “white and blue” lost twice to the Cypriot “Paphos” (0:1, 0:2) and were relegated to the Europa League, and later relegated to the Conference League.
“I know that the management of Dynamo is sure that a change of coach can and should have been made in the summer, when they lost to Paphos in the Champions League qualifiers.
Then there was an opportunity. However, there were no necessary candidates,” the source said.
Due to the lack of alternatives, the president of the Kyiv club decided to keep Shovkovskyi as head coach, but in November, the Ukrainian specialist was still fired and left “Dynamo”.
