Volodymyr Klinovskyy (born 22 March 1969) is a Ukrainian football coach who currently serves as the Reserve team head coach and coach for Milltown FC of the Canadian Soccer League.[1]
Managerial career
On April 17, 2008 Klinovsky was appointed by North York Astros head coach Rafael Carbajal to serve as his assistant coach for the 2008 season.[2] In his first season he helped the Astros set an all time record for most points and wins in a season.[3] But unfortunately during their playoff run the Astros were eliminated by the Serbian White Eagles in the quarterfinal match, with the game ending 2-1 in favor of the White Eagles.[4] The following season he maintained his position as assistant coach, but this time serving under a new head coach Ugur Cimen. On June 29, 2009 Klinovsky was upgraded to the head coach position when Cimen unexpectedly resigned from his coaching duties and returned to Turkey due to personal reasons. His first match was a 4-1 defeat by Toronto Croatia.[5] Klinovsky was placed in a difficult position due to the fact the Astros suffered four straight losses under Cimen, and at the same time conceded the most goals in the National Division at the time. Following the defeat to Toronto, Klinovsky decided to make several new changes to boost up his roster of players in order to complete for a playoff spot. He released many of the new players signed by Cimen and brought up several players from the Reserve Division. In preparation for his goal Klinovsky resolved to make new additional signings such as Adrian Pena, Sergio De Luca, Kurt Ramsey, Adrian Mancini and Gersi Xhuti.
After making several new changes to the line-up following the loss to Toronto Croatia, the Astros tied 2-2 against St. Catharines Wolves to achieve their first point of the season.[6] On July 20, 2009 Klinovsky led the Astros to their first win of the season in 3-2 victory over Trois Rivieres Attak.[7] Unfortunately the Astros would continue to struggle with their goal of reaching the final playoff berth with many inconsistent matches. Klinovsky was able to lead the Astros to a four game unbeaten streak which meant that his squad was only three points away of TFC Academy who held the last playoff spot. The Astros next match was in Vaughan against the Italia Shooters were they needed a guaranteed win in order to surpass TFC in the standings. On September 14, 2009 in their decisive match against the Shooters the home side scored early in the 10' minute on a penalty kick; the Astros held in with a goal from Diego Maradona to tie the match, but unfortunately Italia scored a late winner to end the match with a 2-1 victory over the Astros. Thus eliminating the North York side from contention of reaching the post season.[8]
In 2010, Klinovsky was appointed the Milltown FC Reserve team head coach and assistant coach to head coach Rafael Carbajal. On May 16, 2010 he temporarily stepped in for Head Coach Carbajal, while he was away with the Canada U-20 Coaching Staff. Klinovsky led Milltown to a scoreless draw with the Montreal Impact Academy in the club's first match in club history.[9]
