Italian specialist Andrea Maldera will take the helm. The candidacy was approved by the UFA Executive Committee based on the submission of the National Teams Committee.
The contract signed with Andrea Maldera is for two years with an option to extend. This marks the first time in history that a foreign coach will lead the Ukrainian national team.
