The UAF Executive Committee decided to automatically extend for one year the contracts of the coaches of the Ukrainian national teams, which expire in 2020, the press service of the UAF reports..

Thus, until next year, seven mentors will continue to work with national teams of different ages, including the head coach of the youth national team of Ukraine (U21) Ruslan Rotan.

After the failed selection for the 2021 European Youth Championship, the continuation of cooperation with the specialist was questionable, but the UAF decided to leave Rotan as head coach of the U21 national team.

Recall that in its qualifying group, the youth team of Ukraine took third place, having lost the fight for a ticket to the continental championship to the national teams of Denmark and Romania. Rotan's players scored 16 points in ten games.

Ruslan Rotan has been leading the Ukrainian youth team since the end of 2018.

Rotan said earlier that the structure of the team's game is in the first place for him..
