Andriy Shevchenko
The former AC-Milan and Chelsea striker has replaced Mykhaylo Fomenko, after he was relieved of his duty following early exit of Ukraine from the just concluded Euro 2016 tournament in France, which Portugal won.
Fomenko spent four years as Ukraine football team coach before Shevchenko, 39, replaced him.
Shevchenko served under Fomenko as his assistant when Ukraine lost all of their matches, against Germany, Northern Ireland and Poland.
The former Dynamo Kyiv player, who retired in 2012, has never before worked as a manager.
Ukraine's record scorer with 48 goals, Shevchenko captained his country to their first World Cup finals in 2006.
He has signed a two-year contract with the possibility of another two-year extension.
