(Reuters) - Ukraine have appointed former striker Serhiy Rebrov as their head coach until the end of the 2026 World Cup, the country's soccer federation (UAF) said on Wednesday.
The 49-year-old takes over from interim coach Ruslan Rotan and has signed a contract until July 30, 2026.
Rebrov, who played for Dynamo Kyiv and Tottenham Hotspur, earned 75 caps for Ukraine between 1992 and 2006, and retired as a player in 2009. Rebrov made his name at Dynamo, forming a formidable partnership with Andriy Shevchenko and joined Tottenham in 2000, but returned to his old club after a troubled five-year spell at Spurs. He also played for West Ham United and Rubin Kazan.
