Yevhen Mefodiyovych Kucherevskyi (Ukrainian: ????? ?????i?o??? ????????????, Russian: ??????? ?????????? ???????????) (6 August 1941 – 26 August 2006) was a Ukrainian football coach.
He is most famous for his spells managing Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk, which, under his helm, won the Soviet Championship in 1988, took 2nd place twice in 1987 and 1989, as well as the USSR Cup in 1989.
Dnipro's recent success in the first half of the 2000s is mostly attributed to his coaching as well. On 26 August 2006, Kucherevskyi's Mercedes-Benz suffered a head-on collision with a KAMAZ truck.
The much respected coach died an hour and half later in a hospital, without regaining consciousness. Upon Kucherevskyi's funeral, the Dnipropetrovsk mayor, Ivan Kulichenko, announced the plan to name one of the city streets to the celebrated coach.
