Notes:
- Eduard Khavrov continued to perform managerial duties and the club announced that he will be in that position until a replacement was found.[26]
- On 12 January 2017 Mykola Krut, a curator of FC Ternopil, announced that an agreement was reached with Roman Maksymyuk for the position of head coach for the senior team and Maksymyuk has submitted documents to be selected.[33] However, less than a week later on 18 January 2017 it was announced that the club and Maksymyuk did not reach agreement in regards to the coaching approach and the senior team of the club will continue to be coached by Matviykiv.[34]
- During the winter break PFC Sumy seeking extra funding signed a contract with a Chinese investor and was hired as a head coach Volodymyr Lyutyi. However, the investment never eventuated as the investor failed to complete the transaction. The club was on a verge of bankruptcy and the coaching staff was released. Financial support for the club was provided by an amateur club Ahrobiznes-TSK Romny, and the president hired Anatoliy Bezsmertnyi for Sumy.[48]
