Career

Vernydub made his professional debut in the Soviet Second League in 1983 for FC Spartak Zhytomyr.[2]

From June 2009, he was an assistant coach with FC Metalurh Zaporizhzhia. After a spell as an assistant coach with FC Zorya Luhansk he was made interim head coach in November 2011 after Zorya's management dismissed head coach Anatoly Chantsev.[4] He stayed at Zorya until 31 May 2019. After leaving Zorya, he coached Belarusian club Shakhtyor Soligorsk. He was appointed manager of Moldovan National Division club Sheriff Tiraspol on 18 December 2020.[5] He won the 2020–21 Moldovan National Division in his first season at the club.[6] In 2021, he led the team to the 2021–22 UEFA Champions League group stage — the first time a Moldovan club accomplished such a feat.[7][8]

Personal life

In February 2022, Vernydub left his position of Head Coach of Sheriff Tiraspol to join the Armed Forces of Ukraine in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine that began on 24 February 2022.[9]
