Patrick van Leeuwen turns 54!

Patrick van Leeuwen has been part of the “orange-and-black” family for a long time. He was the coordinator and director of the Academy of the Miners in 2006–2013 and returned to the club as a main team manager in July 2023. This season, the Pitmen will defend the Ukrainian League title under the guidance of the Dutch specialist and Van Leeuwen and his coaching staff will make their debut in the UEFA Champions League.

We wish the head coach many happy returns of the day, along with peace and wellbeing, sound health and family welfare, new professional victories and accomplishments, bright matches, great achievements and trophies won together with Shakhtar!
