Sport.ua reports that Dynamo Kyiv leadership, led by president Ihor Surkis, has shortlisted three candidates to replace Ihor Kostyuk should the club move to change head coaches. The names cited on 20 August 2026 are Serhiy Rebrov (former Ukraine national team coach), Igor Jovicevic (currently without a club after his spell at Polish Widzew) and Serhiy Kravchenko.

According to Sport.ua’s item, which cites the Biy-bizhy outlet, Kravchenko is working as an assistant to Ruslan Rotan at Polissia and has the public support of Andriy Yarmolenko. Kostyuk has been in charge of Dynamo’s first team since 27 November 2025 (initially as caretaker, then appointed full-time on 17 December 2025).
