Dynamo Kyiv’s interim run under Ihor Kostiuk has been extended after the team’s 2–1 victory over Kolos on 17 August 2026. Sport.ua reports, citing journalist Ihor Tsyhanyk, that yesterday’s win was decisive for Kostiuk’s future at the club and that a defeat would likely have led to his dismissal.
Kostiuk first took charge of Dynamo’s first team on 27 November 2025 as caretaker and was appointed full head coach on 17 December 2025. Before that he worked for several years with the club’s U-19 squad. The Sport.ua report frames the Kolos match as a key moment that has for now preserved continuity in the coaching staff at Kyiv’s top club.
