Honored Coach of Ukraine
The Honored Coach of Ukraine (also translated as the Merited Coach of Ukraine, Ukrainian: Заслужений тренер України) is an exclusive sports title awarded to coaches for high special merits to prepare highly qualified sportspeople in individual and team sports. This tradition is an adaptation of the similar honors that existed in the Soviet Union since 1961 as the Merited Coach of the Ukrainian SSR.
