Oleksandr Shovkovsky (Assistant Head Coach of the National Team of Ukraine): "For us, the coaches of the national team of Ukraine, it is important that the guys feel support - from mentors, journalists, fans. They have to be self-confident, and even if something doesn't work out, they still have to try to be better, to go to their goal. It is a great challenge for each of them to be in the national team. "

Taras Stepanenko (Ukraine midfielder): "It's nice to be at an event where we can meet our friends and colleagues in an informal setting to chat outside the football field. Yes, now we have a lot of important matches - the championship of Ukraine, the Champions League, but I'm sure that such events do not distract, but simply give the opportunity to rest psychologically and spend the evening in good company. This year many players showed themselves clearly. For me, Marlos, Tyson and Tsygankov would definitely be in the top three. I would also like to single out Mykolenko. "

Myron Markevich (Chairman of the UAF National Teams Committee): "For me, everyone who was in the nomination" Player of the Year "is a great football player. I don't want to single anyone out. In 2019, I liked Mykolenko's game. As always, Tyson looked good, I will probably single out Denis Popov. Our coaches - Andriy Shevchenko, Oleksandr Petrakov and Viktor Skrypnyk, who were presented in the nomination "Coach of the Year", also proved themselves.

Andrii Shevchenko (head coach of the national team of Ukraine): "Being the coach of the national team is a big responsibility. That is why I am very grateful to all my mentors I have worked with, I am grateful to my assistants - Mulder, Tassotti, Shovkovsky, Harry. I am also grateful to the journalists and fans who gave us important emotions. Thank you to the team and the players for believing in the philosophy we have chosen. That's why I dedicate my Coach of the Year award to the national team players. The boys gave their hearts on the field to please the whole country. I think this year was very successful for all Ukrainian football, so everyone deserves the highest marks and awards. It is especially nice that the players of the national team were present in the nominations. I think that such events are necessary, because this is our "Football Oscar". A football family gathered here, footballers who have already finished their performances came to support their colleagues ... ”

I think Ukrainian football is on the right track. "
