Ukraine coach Mykhaylo Fomenko says he will quit after his team's last group game against Poland at Euro 2016 on Tuesday.
Ukraine are unable to reach the knockout stages of the tournament in France after defeats to Germany and Northern Ireland in Group C.
"What sense does it make to continue after failing with the task that was set for the tournament?", Fomenko told Ukraine's national TV channel "Football".
"I did not feel the united team that clinched the spot at the Euro finals.
"I paid attention to this during warm-up games against Cyprus and Wales. Everyone saw what was going on at the end of the Ukrainian championship. This situation affected the team's psychology."
Ukraine's preparations for the tournament suffered a setback after an unseemly row between two of their high-profile players.
Shakhtar midfielder Taras Stepanenko and Dynamo Kiev's Andriy Yarmolenko were involved in a spat during a league game.
