Career

Buryak was born in Odessa, in the Soviet Union. He was a midfielder for the USSR national football team.[2][3] He competed for the Soviet Union at the 1976 Summer Olympics, at which he won a bronze medal.[4]

Buryak played for a number of teams in the Soviet Union, most notably for Dynamo Kyiv, of which he was also the sporting manager.[5] As a player, he had a tremendous impact on his team, similar to what Pavel Nedvěd or Zinedine Zidane had on theirs. Buryak has coached the Ukrainian national football team.[6][7][8]

In 1979 Buryak played couple of games for Ukraine at the Spartakiad of the Peoples of the USSR.[9]

Coach of Ukraine national team

In 2002, Leonid Buryak was appointed coach of the Ukraine national team. Making this choice, the Football Federation set the target for the new coach to get into the final part of the 2002 European Championship. The preparation for the main matches began with the defeat of the Japanese team in the first match for Buryak-coach.

As part of the qualifying tournament, the Ukrainian team managed to play with a score of 2-2 in Yerevan in the first match, then there was a significant victory over the Greek team. However, Buryak's team, which took the final third place in the qualifying round, failed to enter into the final part of the championship. Leonid Buryak left the national team.[10]
