Yuriy Moroz has stepped down as the head coach of Ukraine's youth national team.

The Ukrainian Football Association announced on its website the conclusion of its collaboration with Yurii Moroz. The 54-year-old specialist's contract has expired, and both parties decided not to extend it.

It is worth noting that while working in Yurii Kalytvintsev's coaching staff, Moroz helped the Ukraine U-19 national team win gold medals at the European Championship in 2009. He later began a cycle with the generation of players born in 1994, participating in two qualifying tournaments – Euro 2011 (U-17) and Euro 2013 (U-19). Simultaneously, he assisted Pavlo Yakovenko with the youth national team and managed the team in several matches (2010, 2012).

In July 2014, he started working at Dynamo as an assistant and coach for the U-19 team. He later took over Chornomorets and returned to working with national teams in September 2022. Initially, he coached the players born in 2006 (participating in the Euro 2023 (U-17) qualifiers), and in 2024, he took charge of the younger youth teams (no older than U-17), managing three teams in a year – those born in 2007, 2008, and 2009.

Notably, he had a remarkably successful run with the 2007-born team in the elite round of the Euro 2024 (U-17) qualifiers and led them in the final tournament of the European Championship. In October 2024, he guided the 2008-born players to the elite round of the Euro 2025 (U-17) qualifiers.
