Vasyl Viktorovych Sachko (Ukrainian: Василь Вікторович Сачко; born 3 May 1975) is a Ukrainian football manager and former player. He played as a forward.

Career

A native of Eastern Ukraine, Sachko started to play football in a local sports school of Velyka Novosilka Raion. His first coach was Volodymyr Lypovyi. After finishing the obligatory military service in Simferopol, Sachko was not certain about his future and ended up in the city of Ukrainsk which is part of Selydove.

Until 2000 Sachko played primarily in amateur competitions for several clubs from Donetsk Oblast except for a short stint in 1998 when he defended colors of SC Tavriya Simferopol in the Vyshcha Liha. After Tavriya he returned to Shakhta Ukraina. While playing in Ukrainsk, Sachko also worked in local militsiya since amateur clubs do not pay their players. With Shakhta Ukraina coached by Viktor Hrachov, Sachko managed to win the Ukrainian Amateur Cup by beating Volhynian team "Troianda-Ekspres".

In 2000 he joined the Second League Oskil Kupiansk and after a season received several offers from other professional clubs such as Naftovyk Okhtyrka, but chose to play for Volyn Lutsk.

While playing in Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih, Sachko carried the captain's badge 22 times. Unable to find a regular spot in the starting squad, Sachko, with the approval of the Kryvbas officials, received a free agent status and on Wednesday, 20 August 2008 he moved to Vorskla Poltava.[1][2]

Since 2014 till 2019, he worked as manager of Vorskla Poltava.[3]
