KIEV - Myron Markevich was named as Ukraine
coach on Monday with the task of leading the national team to
the 2012 European Championship.
Markevich, 58, quit his club FC Metalist Kharkiv to replace
Olexiy Mykhaylychenko who failed to take Ukraine to this year's
World Cup finals after losing to Greece in the play-offs.
Yuriy Kalitvintsev, who led Ukraine to victory in the 2009
UEFA European Under-19 Championship, will assist Markevich.
