Union extend contract with Tim Skarke

Under the management of Mircea Lucescu, Dynamo Kiev won their first Ukrainian league title in four years. Dynamo are a household name of Eastern European football, winning 16 titles since the break-up of the Soviet Union and lifting the Ukrainian Cup 13 times. In the 1970s, Dynamo Kiev won the European Cup Winners Cup twice and the UEFA Super Cup in 1975. 

But the 1990s were the glory days for Dynamo Kiev under legendary manager Valeriy Lobanovskyi, who won 33 trophies during his career. Despite domination in Ukraine, Dynamo Kiev struggled in European football until Lobanovskyi’s third spell at the club. In 1999, a side inspired by Andriy Shevchenko got to the semi-finals of the Champions League. Shevchenko signed for AC Milan in 1999 and the rest is history. 

Further information about capacity and tickets will be announced later in the week.
