Season 1990 start 		The decade started with a new coach. Oleg Bazilevych was appointed the head coach after team's unsatisfactory results in the previous season (12 position in the league). He managed the team for one year. His successor for the next two years was Anatoliy Konkov and in July 1989 Valeriy Yaryomchenko took charge of the club.
