Ivan Shariy
Soviet and Ukrainian association football player
Ivan Shariy (Ukrainian: Іван Григорович Шарій; born 24 November 1957) is a former Soviet and Ukrainian footballer and Ukrainian football manager.
Biography
Native of Poltava, Shariy played football for almost a quarter of century. He started to play football at a local Poltava sports school. Viktor Nosov who at that time was a head coach of the Vorskla Poltava's predecessor Kolos invited Shariy to the team of masters that played at the Soviet Second League when Shariy just turned 16. Shariy debuted coming out as a substitute during the game against Avtomobilist (later better known as FC Polissya Zhytomyr). Soon he was noticed by scouts of the Soviet Top League from Dynamo Kyiv and CSKA Moscow and in 1976 joined the Kyivan team.
Due to strong competition for a spot on the main team and the reserve squad, Shariy soon left Dynamo in Kiev for another in Minsk that was coached by Oleh Bazylevych helping the main Belarusian team with promotion to the Soviet Top League. Following promotion of Dinamo Minsk, Shariy decided to stay and continue to play at the Soviet First League joining FC Metalurh Zaporizhia for which he scored a notable number of goals. After couple of seasons Shariy tried to return to Kiev and played for Dynamo of Valeriy Lobanovsky few games in the Soviet Cup, but later joined another Soviet Top League team, Chornomorets Odesa, that was coached by Nikita Simonyan. In Chornomorets Shariy spent the next six seasons.

Why this record matters
“Ivan Shariy” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Ivan, Shariy and Soviet provides the most credible route into that argument.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 29, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4520515. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1957 and 1976.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
