Coach Valery Lobanovsky is sitting on the bench and, as it were, watching a football game. The size of the sculpture is three and a half meters.
The pedestal of the monument is made in the form of a huge soccer ball, which bears the signature of V. Lobanovsky.
Fragments of the pedestal were made of glass, in which there is a screen showing career episodes from the life of Valery Vasilyevich Lobanovsky.
In 2003, the monument was unveiled on the territory of the Dynamo Stadium (now the Lobanovsky Dynamo Stadium).
At the end of December 2013, the monument was moved to a new location — to the entrance to the stadium near the intersection of Mikhail Grushevsky Street and Petrovsky Alley.
