Playing career

He started playing with FC Lysonia Berezhany and then FC Temp Shepetivka. He established himself as a striker while playing for Prykarpattya Ivano-Frankivsk while in the Ukrainian First League where he consistently was among the top-scorers of the League. He spent some time in foreign clubs in Austria, Poland and Russia.

Coaching career

In his coaching career, he was a successful manager in Latvia with FK Ventspils winning the Latvian championship three times from 2006–08 as well as the Latvian Cup in 2005 and 2007.[1]

During the 2009–10 Ukrainian Premier League season, Hryhorchuk was hired by Metalurh Zaporizhya. He stayed in that position only until the end of the season, though.

On 16 November 2010, Hryhorchuk was appointed as the manager of FC Chornomorets Odesa.[2] He brought the club back into the Ukrainian Premier League after his 1st season in charge.

On 4 March 2012 his team won 1-0 against FC Illichivets Mariupol[3] and couple of weeks later defeated FC Vorskla Poltava.[4]

A year later Chornomorets won another 1-0 match against Metallurg Donetsk[5] which made it possible for it to appear at the Ukrainian Cup by May of the same year.[6] On 23 August 2013 his team played against KF Skënderbeu Korçë.[7]

Hryhorchuk was appointed manager of Azerbaijan Premier League side Gabala FK on 21 December 2014, on an 18-month contract.[8] On 20 December 2015, Hryhorchuk extended his Gabala contract for another season, until the end of the 2016-2017 season.[9] Following defeat to Keşla in the 2017–18 Azerbaijan Cup Final, Hryhorchuk left Gabala after his contract was not extended.[10]

On 1 June 2018, FC Astana announced Hryhorchuk as their new manager.[11] On 13 January 2020, Hryhorchuk left Astana by mutual consent.[12]
