Surkis offered Serhiy Rebrov the Dynamo Kyiv job — Rebrov declined AI

Dynamo Kyiv president Ihor Surkis reportedly offered former Ukraine coach Serhiy Rebrov the club’s head-coach role on 25 August 2026. Rebrov turned the offer down, telling journalists family ties in Spain made a Kyiv return impractical, Sport.ua reports. With Ihor Kostiuk replaced as head coach, Rebrov’s refusal narrows Dynamo’s options as the club reorganises after early domestic wins and a European exit.

Sport.ua published a report on 25 August 2026 saying Dynamo Kyiv president Ihor Surkis proposed Serhiy Rebrov as the club’s new head coach. The outlet attributes the information to journalist Ihor Burbas.

According to the report, Rebrov was offered terms reportedly better than those he received with the Ukraine national team but declined. Rebrov told Burbas that his family are settled in Spain — schools and childcare are already arranged — and he does not want to live apart from them.

The article notes Rebrov left his role as Ukraine head coach and was considered a likely replacement for Ihor Kostiuk. Dynamo have won their first two domestic matches but were eliminated from the UEFA Conference League by Qarabağ earlier in the campaign. Readers should treat this as reported information from Sport.ua and follow club announcements for any official confirmation.
