The Zhytomyr club is preparing to change its coaching staff
The main candidate for the post of head coach Polesie ex-coach of Zorya and Shakhtar is considered Patrick van Leeuwen.
It is reported that the Dutchman is not the only, but the main candidate for Polesie. The parties will begin negotiations in the near future.
The Zhytomyr club is preparing to change its coach. Yuri Kalitvintsev is close to dismissal, and his position will be temporarily taken by the current coach of the second league Zvyagel Sergei Shishchenko.
Van Leeuwen led Zarya in the 2022/23 season, with whom he took third place in the Ukrainian Championship. In the summer of 2023, the Dutchman became Shakhtar’s mentor, but was fired in October.
Polesie does not win six matches in a row in the championship. The absolute newcomer of the UPL went into the winter break in third place with a two-point gap from the two leaders, and has now dropped to sixth place, seven points behind Shakhtar and having played two more games.
In the next round, Polesie will play away against Obolon on March 16.
