The monument to Valeriy Lobanovsky in Kyiv was unveiled on May 11, 2003, the first anniversary of the coach's death.Initially, it was installed on the territory of the Dynamo Stadium (behind the entrance colonnade), which bears Lobanovsky's name, and at the end of 2013 it was moved to its current location on the square near the football arena. Valeriy Lobanovsky is depicted sitting on the coach's bench in a tense, energetic pose: his body is bent forward to his left knee, his hands are placed in front of him, his face is serious and focused - this is how we remember the coach who followed the events at the stadium in this way. The hands of the clock on his hand recorded the time - 20 hours and 37 minutes, when the meter's heart stopped beating.
