After the resignation at the end of the first part of the season, the manager of Vinnytsia "Niva" Ngaha Collins'Oleh Shumovytskyi was the head coach of the team. And from this week he has been leading Niva on a permanent basis.

As the president of Vinnytsia FC Vadym Kudiyarov noted, Shumovytsky is well versed in the realities of local football, he is remembered for his effective work with change.

Meanwhile, the ranks of one of the leaders of Group "A", "Polissya", joined the famous goal scorer Alexander Kovpak, who previously played for "Chernomorets". According to Polissya head coach Anatoliy Bezsmertny, his wards are returning from vacation on January 20 and will hold 14-15 sparring matches in the preparation period. It is gratifying that the financial condition of Polissya is gradually improving. Representatives of regional authorities and the city of Zhytomyr are ready to provide the necessary financial assistance. This is important because the struggle for promotion in this group is expected to be very fierce, and players should be set up only to perform this difficult task.

Probably the main competitor of Polissya will probably be Veres. By the way, in Rivne they have already said goodbye to six football players who defended the red and black colors last fall. Perhaps the most significant loss is Marian Mysyk's wagon leased from Rukh Lviv, which has scored three goals and five assists in 15 matches. However, according to the terms of the contract, Rukh had the right to return the player after the first part of the season. Lviv residents decided to take advantage of this opportunity.

It will be recalled that Veres is still forced to host rivals in Mlyniv, but efforts are being made in Rivne to relocate Yuriy Wirt's wards to his hometown soon. In particular, deputies of the City Council, according to reliable information, voted to allocate the necessary funds to complete the reconstruction of the stadium "Vanguard".
