In the summer of 2009, during 6 rounds of the Ukrainian championship, he acted as head coach due to the fact that Desna Chernihiv did not sign a contract with Oleksandr Ryabokon. According to the results of the 2009–10 season, "Desna" took 8th place in the Ukrainian First League, but was excluded from the PFL.[4] Yuriy Ovcharov together with head coach Oleksandr Ryabokon transferred to Lviv.[5] From 2011 he worked as a coach of Bukovyna goalkeepers.[6][7] In the summer of 2012 he returned to Desna Chernihiv.[8][9]
