Polissya head coach Ruslan Rotan was named the Ukrainian Premier League’s best coach for October, while striker Ihor Krasnopir received the player award. The Ukrainian Premier League reported the voting outcome on Monday, November 9, via upl.ua.

Krasnopir scored four goals across three league appearances during the month. His tally included a hat-trick in Polissya’s 3-1 victory over Dynamo, a performance that helped him finish first in both the fan and expert polls.

The final player ranking placed Dynamo goalkeeper Heorhii Bushchan second and Kharkiv’s Ramik Hajiyev third. The selection process combined an online public vote with a separate ballot involving 38 UPL TV commentators, experts and media representatives.

Rotan also led both sections of the coaching vote. His side defeated Dynamo 3-1 and Obolon 3-0 in league action and beat amateur opponents from Novyi Rozdil 2-0 to reach the cup quarterfinals. Mladen Bartulovic took second place among coaches, followed by Viktor Skrypnyk.
