Former European Footballer of the Year Andriy Shevchenko has agreed to rejoin Dynamo Kiev from Chelsea [ Images ].

"Shevchenko has signed a two-year contract," the Ukrainian club said on their website (www.fcdynamo.kiev.ua) on Saturday.

Kiev added the 32-year-old Ukraine striker would be presented as their player on Sunday.

On Friday, Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti [ Images ] said he could not guarantee Shevchenko first-team football.

"I spoke with Shevchenko and he would like to play with continuity here. For me it is difficult to give him this possibility and I think he has taken the right decision (to move)," Ancelotti said.

Shevchenko never justified the club record 30 million pounds fee that Chelsea paid AC Milan [ Images ] for him in 2006.

He scored only nine league goals in his first two campaigns and was loaned back to the Italian team last season.

With Ukraine still in with a chance of qualifying for next year's World Cup, the 2004 European Footballer of the Year faced a season on the fringes at Chelsea.

Shevchenko, who left Kiev for Milan in 1999, was also in danger of being left out of the London [ Images ] club's Champions League [ Images ] squad when it is named on Tuesday.

The Ukraine captain is one of the leading scorers in the Champions League and will get a chance to add to his tally of goals with Kiev, who have been drawn in Group F with holders Barcelona [ Images ], Inter Milan [ Images ] and Rubin Kazan.
