Yurii Shturko - Acting Senior Coach of Kryvbas U-21

Yurii Shturko will serve as the head coach of the Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih U-21 youth team.

A product of the Kryvyi Rih football system, Yurii Yuriyovych previously played for Kryvbas. He made 19 appearances and scored one goal for the club’s first team. He also played for the Kryvbas U-21 squad and Kryvbas-2.

Following the end of his playing career, Shturko began his coaching journey in 2020. He has worked with the Kryvbas-84 Youth Sports School, the Kryvbas Football Academy, and various youth age groups within the club’s structure. During the 2024/2025 season, he served as the head coach of the Kryvbas U-19 team before moving on to work with the Academy’s older age groups.

Yurii Shturko now enters a new chapter in his career: leading the training process for the U-21 youth team, which competes in the Ukrainian championship for UPL-2 youth squads.

We wish Yurii Yuriyovych every success in his new role and many victories with the "Red and Whites."
