After finishing his playing career in 1973 Byshovets worked in Dynamo Kiev's football school. In 1988, he won the Olympic gold medal with the Soviet team. He has also managed various clubs and three national teams (USSR, Russia, and South Korea).[1]

Byshovets also was a consultant at Anzhi Makhachkala (2003), vice president at FC Khimki (2003–2004), and sporting director at Hearts (2004–2005). He became the first foreign coach of South Korea in 1994.

Recent events edit

After having been for one year out of work Byshovets became coach of FC Lokomotiv Moscow of the Russian Premier League. In 2007, Lokomotiv with Byshovets won the Russian Cup which brought Byshovets a more positive image from both the press and the fans. But despite the club's Champions League ambitions under Byshovets, Lokomotiv was underachieving in the Russian Premier League. Next day after the end of 2007 season he was sacked.[2]

In October 2009, he was hired as a consultant by FC Kuban Krasnodar. He left Kuban just over a month later, on 17 November 2009, and the club was subsequently disbanded.
