Former AC Milan and Chelsea striker Andriy Shevchenko has joined Ukraine's coaching staff ahead of Euro 2016.
The 39-year-old, who is the top scorer in the national team's history with 48 goals, has replaced Olexandr Zavarov in Mikhail Fomenko's set-up.
Shevchenko, who has completed a two-year course to gain a UEFA coaching licence, admitted he is thrilled to be joining the group ahead of the finals in France this year.
"After almost four years on vacation, I am coming back to big football, as a coach," the former Ukraine captain said at a media conference. "I worked with great coaches like Valeriy Lobanovskyi, Carlo Ancelotti, Jose Mourinho and got a huge experience.
"Coaching courses helped me to shape up my ideas and determine my own vision of football. Hopefully, this will help me in the future."
