Career

Buryak was born in Odessa, in the Soviet Union. He was a midfielder for the USSR national football team.[1][2] He competed for the Soviet Union at the 1976 Summer Olympics, at which he won a bronze medal.[3]

Buryak played for a number of teams in the Soviet Union, most notably for Dynamo Kyiv, of which he was also the sporting manager.[4] As a player, he had a tremendous impact on his team, similar to what Pavel Nedvěd or Zinedine Zidane had on theirs. Buryak has coached the Ukrainian national football team.[5][6][7]

In 1979 Buryak played couple of games for Ukraine at the Spartakiad of the Peoples of the USSR.[8]
