Karpaty Lviv
On 9 June 2008, Konanaw was invited to take charge of Ukrainian Premier League club Karpaty Lviv following the resignation of Valery Yaremchenko.[2] He brought a new style of play to the team, including the use of a 4-3-3 formation which emphasizes the flanks instead of the usual 4-4-2 formation.[3][4] At the end of the 2008-09 season, Karpaty finished in the season in middle of the league at 9th place.[5] Kononov enjoyed more success the next season, guiding Karpaty to top 8 in the Ukrainian Cup where they were elminated by eventual finalists Metalurh Donetsk. They also finished fifth in the league and therefore qualifying for the 2010–11 UEFA Europa League, where after impressively passing Galatasaray S.K. in the Playoff Round, finished last in Group J with 1 point.
