Best of the day

Player's career and serious injury

Viktor Goncharenko began his playing career in 1995 in Belarus. He played 3 seasons in the local championship, but the footballer gained fame by moving to the national champion BATE. The career of the talented defender was developing rapidly, but at the age of 25 he was forced to retire after a banal injury received in training. Doctors diagnosed Victor with a ruptured knee ligament. The damage turned out to be serious and incompatible with the ability to play football.

Viktor Goncharenko - BATE coach

The former defender became the youngest coach in the post-Soviet space. He headed the youth team of the club from Borisov at the age of 27. Later, the young specialist received a Pro category license and in 2007 became the head coach of his native BATE.

In 2008, Viktor Goncharenko became the youngest manager to lead his team to a Champions League match. The strongest European teams (Juventus, Real Madrid and Zenit) were included in the group of players from Borisov. Viktor Goncharenko’s team was able not only to provide decent resistance to more eminent opponents, but also took points from all representatives of the quartet. Predictably, the Spanish and Italian teams left the group that year, but the successes of BATE and its head coach were noted in Belarus at top level. Goncharenko became coach of the year in his country, and according to the International Federation of Football Statistics, he took the high 17th place among the best club coaches in the world.

The next season, the team from Borisov was left without the Champions League; instead, the Bulgarian Litex went there. However, the credit of trust in his own pupil was so great that resignation was out of the question. Moreover, in the domestic championship, BATE continued to dominate its rivals.

Rumors and reality

The successes of the Belarusian specialist could not go unnoticed, and such headlines could increasingly be found in the press: “Viktor Goncharenko is the coach of Kuban”, “Goncharenko is the main contender for the coaching position of CSKA”, “Goncharenko and Karpaty signed a preliminary agreement”, etc. .

However, despite the rumors, Goncharenko continued to lead the Belarusian team, and in 2010 he created a new sensation with it. For the first time in its history, BATE made it past the group stage of the most prestigious European tournament and reached the 1/16 finals. Fate was not further favorable to the Belarusians and prepared the French PSG as their opponent in the playoffs. It should be noted that the Parisians advanced to the next round only thanks to an away goal. The following year, BATE again found itself in group stage Champions League. The Belarusian team's opponents were regulars of the prestigious tournament and leaders European football: Barcelona, ​​Milan and Czech champion Viktoria. During the coaching work of Viktor Goncharenko, BATE managed to try in the Europa League, where they failed to overcome the group stage.

In Russia

The first club in Russian stage Krasnodar "Kuban" became his coaching career. Viktor Goncharenko created a small miracle here too, bringing the eternal middle peasant of the Premier League to fifth place (the gap from second place, which gives the right to be classified into the Champions League, was only one point). Against this background, the decision of the Kuban management to dismiss the coach with the wording “does not communicate strictly enough with the team players” looked very strange.

Viktor Goncharenko, CSKA and Slutsky

In transit through Ural, the specialist ultimately ended up in CSKA Moscow. He came to the army camp under the patronage of the head coach, Leonid Slutsky, and was supposed to become his assistant. After the championship season of 2015-2016, Viktor Goncharenko decided to take up coaching on his own again and headed Ufa. Under the leadership of the Belarusian coach, the club showed confident play in the championship and in the national cup.

Since December 2016, Viktor Goncharenko has been the coach of CSKA. He returned to the Moscow team just six months after leaving due to the resignation of Leonid Slutsky.

Education. He studied at Odessa schools No. 62, No. 35, and graduated from gymnasium No. 2 ( former school No. 9). In 1996, as a diploma holder at the Biology Olympiad, he entered the Odessa State Medical University through an interview (without exams) for the state form of education. In 2002 he graduated from medical university with honors. From 2002 to 2005 he received a second higher education from the Academy of National Economy under the Government Russian Federation, Moscow city. Specialty - economist, financial management. In 2006, he became a participant in the John Smith Foundation Program, within the framework of which he completed a one and a half month internship in the United Kingdom - in the Parliament of the United Kingdom, the local government of Luton (a suburb of London), and the National Assembly of Wales.

Career:

In 2001, Goncharenko was elected head of the youth organization of the Odessa regional branch of the Green Party of Ukraine.

In 2002, at the age of 21, he ran for the first time for the Odessa City Council in the district in the village of Tairova, but was unsuccessful.

After the elections, he worked as an assistant to a city council deputy. At the same time, he entered the second higher education at the Academy of National Economy under the Government of the Russian Federation in Moscow (Higher School of Financial Management). He graduated from the Academy in 2005, receiving a higher education in economics.

In 2005, he was elected chairman of the Odessa city organization of the Union party. He was active in Odessa. The main success was preventing the privatization of the Odessa port plant.

At the end of 2005, the Odessa regional and city organizations of the Union Party merged with the Party of Regions as the main opposition force. Member of the Party of Regions and was elected to the Odessa City Council in 2006.

In 2007, he was elected chairman of the commission to improve the city management structure, which existed until December 2008.

On August 6, 2009, he organized a picket at Odessa airport on the day of the arrival of Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko in the city. He demanded that he stop the privatization of the Odessa port plant. Viktor Yushchenko listened to Alexey Goncharenko and promised to stop privatization if the government of Yulia Tymoshenko did not fulfill all of Goncharenko’s demands. On September 17, Yushchenko signed a corresponding decree. Despite this, on September 29, the State Property Fund held a competition to sell the plant. However, the presidential decree scared off 10 of the 13 participants in the competition and the competition commission was eventually forced to cancel the results of the competition due to the low price offered by the winner of the competition. As a result, the OPP remained in state ownership, and Alexey Goncharenko calls this his victory.

As of May 2009, he is the head of the public association “Quality of Life,” which includes hundreds of Odessa residents.

In the local elections in October 2010, he ran for the Odessa Regional Council in a majoritarian district consisting of Primorsky and Suvorovsky districts. He won by a huge margin over his competitors, gaining 57 thousand votes. He was elected deputy chairman of the regional council.

On July 29, at the congress of the Party of Regions, with the participation of the honorary head of the party, Viktor Yanukovych, he was nominated as a candidate for people's deputies.

On August 7, 2012, he was registered as a candidate for people's deputies of Ukraine in the 133rd majoritarian constituency (Kiev district of Odessa). According to preliminary data, he lost with 20.6% of the votes to Igor Markov, who received 26.6%. On October 31, Goncharenko made an official statement in which he admitted defeat.

Before the events of Euromaidan, he was a member of the Party of Regions.

In 2014, he came to the peninsula to oppose the separation of Crimea from Ukraine, for which he was beaten and expelled from the territory of the peninsula.

During the events of May 2 in Odessa, Alexey Goncharenko said in live television program Shuster-Live: “We cleared the Kulikovo field from the separatist camp,” speaking of ourselves as a direct participant in the events. Such statements allowed a number of Odessa politicians to accuse Goncharenko of involvement in these events and the murders of people.

On February 1, 2016, the parliamentary faction of the BPP tentatively nominated Alexey Goncharenko for the post of Minister of Health. Deputy Sergei Leshchenko announced the absence of a quorum and a violation of the faction Regulations during this procedure; later the head of the faction Yuriy Lutsenko indicated that these candidacies have not yet been approved.

About the person:

Speaks English and French. Reserve lieutenant of the military medical service.

Family:

Alexey Goncharenko is the son of the odious Odessa ex-regional leader Alexey Kostusev, who is considered a well-known Ukrainian hater and organizer of marginal pro-Kremlin movements in Odessa.

Goncharenko's mother Marina Fedorovna in 1982-83. worked in the Odessa port. Then to the Museum of the Navy. Then a teacher at school No. 62 and the Primorsky Lyceum.

Alexey Goncharenko is married. My wife Olga and I studied in the same group in medical university. Raises a son.

Compromising evidence and rumors:

Now Alexey Goncharenko is in the sights of the SBU, which on September 18 last year opened criminal proceedings against Wasserman on charges of separatism and inciting national hatred. But there is nothing like that here, at first glance. In Russia, many cultural figures have anti-Ukrainian views. However, the situation in the case of Wasserman is special, because the initiator of the criminal case under Article 110 Part 2 (separatism) was none other than Alexey Goncharenko. The former supporter of “Russian Odessa” simply leaked his former colleague’s views. It is likely that Goncharenko was afraid that Anatoly Alexandrovich would be able to tell a lot of interesting things about the young politician’s non-public speeches.

Sometimes journalists catch Goncharenko pushing buttons in parliament.

Together with the deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Yuliy Mamchur, Alexey Goncharenko organized a symbolic awarding of the Turkish pilot who shot down a Russian plane in the skies over Syria on November 24, 2015.

In August 2015, Saakashvili called Goncharenko the “supervisor” of Odessa crime and said that Alexey would go to prison. After this, according to numerous eyewitnesses, People's Deputy of Ukraine Alexey Goncharenko was beaten in the regional administration building. According to witnesses to the incident, Saakashvili’s assistants kicked him. The reason for the assault was that Goncharenko was allegedly trading places on the future list of BPP + NF + UDAR. After the beating, according to eyewitnesses, Goncharenko was thrown out of the building.

In May 2015, deputy of the Odessa Regional Council Dmitry Voloshenkov accused people's deputy Alexey Goncharenko of trying to illegally privatize the Reception House of the Odessa Regional Council. “Shocked by the daring behavior of A.A. Goncharenko! - writes Voloshenkov. - Apparently, without becoming governor, I wanted to at least live in the Reception House. The mechanism for putting this idea into practice is striking, namely: the company Privatni Spravi LLC, registered at Kanatnaya, 10 (where the office of Dumskoy TV is located), represented by the director, signs an agreement with the Regional Council represented by Shmulevich N.Kh. (Director of the KP “Regional Service for the Operation of Administrative Buildings”), according to which he takes this object with an area of ​​almost more than 2 hectares, for 49 years, for rent, for 11 million hryvnia.” Dmitry Voloshenkov notes that only one company participated in the competition for the right to lease the property. According to Voloshenkov, Alexey Goncharenko’s involvement in the scheme is indicated by the fact that the post of head of the regional council’s property relations department is held by Goncharenko’s associate Olga Yurko, and the notarization of the transaction on May 20 was carried out by notary Anna Cherednichenko, who is Goncharenko’s half-sister. The transfer of valuable real estate and land plots for lease is often a preparation for non-transparent privatization. By law, the tenant has a pre-emptive right to purchase the leased property, which in this case is sold not at auction, but according to another procedure, in which the price is determined based on the results of a monetary valuation. As a rule, such a price turns out to be significantly (several times, or even an order of magnitude) lower than the market price.

Goncharenko was detained by police on March 1, 2015 in Moscow, during a funeral procession in memory of the murdered Russian opposition politician Boris Nemtsov. Subsequently, he was transferred to the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for procedural actions in the case of “attempted murder and torture of a citizen of the Russian Federation during the tragic events in Odessa on May 2, 2014.” After interrogation in the evening of the same day, he was released from the building of the Kitay-Gorod police station, and as of 22:00 Moscow time, President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko announced that the deputy was “already on the territory of the Ukrainian Embassy in Russia.” On March 2, Alexey Goncharenko was summoned to a court hearing, where the drawn up protocol on disobedience to police officers was to be considered. However, he returned to Ukraine, since the Moscow police no longer had any legal claims against him.

During his visit to the Council of Europe, he caused a scandal with his T-shirt with the inscription “Putin=Hitler”. For this they even cut off his microphone.

Only after blood began to flow in the center of Kyiv did he write a letter of resignation from the Party of Regions. This happened on February 19, 2014. As you know, at that time, Yanukovych’s power began to actively fall apart, and statements were made among regional leaders about the unacceptability of the government’s course. Then the ex-regional leader said that the country was facing a civil war, so he was leaving Yanukovych’s party.

In 2012, deputy Oleg Makarov accused Alexey Goncharenko of “promoting himself” at the expense of things he did not do. Thus, Makarov, during the opening of a new playground in one of the Odessa courtyards, stated that it was he who installed the playground for his own money. And Goncharenko, who was present there, said that in his life he “couldn’t even build a dog kennel.”

In February 2011, Goncharenko had an accident on Fontanaya Road (Odessa). There were no casualties. Between the fourth and fifth stations of the Fontanaya road, he crashed at speed into cars standing in a traffic jam. Alexey Goncharenko, who was driving his Nissan, damaged three cars at once. Witnesses of the incident say that Kostusev’s son was the culprit of the accident. After the collision, his friends came to the deputy’s aid. Alexey Goncharenko himself hid in their tinted car and refused to talk to the press.

In 2009, Goncharenko campaigned from the podium against the Orange fascists in power. He demanded the status of the Russian language as the second state language and argued that Ukrainian culture from time immemorial was bilingual, and the Ukrainian language was a forceful imposition of a Western dialect on Odessa residents.

In 2009, a condom filled with brilliant green was thrown at the politician twice. Each time the young politician stated that in this way the city authorities wanted to influence and put pressure on him.

The most scandals and incriminating evidence arose between Alexey Goncharenko and Alexey Kostusev (his own father, who abandoned the family when his son was three years old). For example, the scandal that occurred during a meeting of the executive committee, when the mayor ordered that the deputy not be allowed into the session hall, although the latter really wanted to get there.

Before Maidan, Goncharenko served as first deputy chairman of the Odessa Regional Council and was an active supporter of upholding the rights of Russian-speaking Ukrainians in southern Ukraine.

When the law on compulsory dubbing of films into Ukrainian was issued, he actively used it during his election campaign, asserting that the screening of films should remain Russian.

In 2006, the first decision that Goncharenko managed to achieve in the City Council was the clause of the Regulations of the Odessa City Council, according to which “the language of work of the Odessa City Council, its executive bodies and for official announcements, along with the Ukrainian language, is Russian.”

At the request of his father, Alexey graduated from the Academy of National Economy under the Government of the Russian Federation in Moscow in 2005 with a degree in economics, Financial Manager. By the way, Goncharenko’s first decision in the city council was the point according to which the language of work of the Odessa City Council, its executive bodies and official statements, along with the Ukrainian language, is Russian.

In 2005, he headed the Odessa city party organization "Union". This political force is notable for the fact that it was formed on the basis of the Crimean Party, officially banned by the Ministry of Justice. Subsequently, party members formed the famous “Russian Bloc”, which was one of those who contributed to Russia’s annexation of Crimea.

Outstanding football coach Viktor Goncharenko, at the age of 39, took over the leadership of CSKA. In the past - brilliant successes in other teams: BATE, Kuban. However, this specialist never stops there...

Short playing career

Viktor Mikhailovich Goncharenko was born on June 10, 1977 in the small town of Khoiniki (Belarus). The boy studied straight A's until another priority appeared in his life - football. Victor contracted football fever in the seventh grade from his father, an avid fan.

The boy played with the ball both at home and on the street. At the same time, he began to show leadership qualities: in the yard, Victor commanded even the older boys.

After the Chernobyl disaster, the city was partially contaminated; dosimeters hung in many houses. My father worked as an accident liquidator. In 1993, my father died. The young man went to Minsk, to a boarding school for children and youth sports school RUOR.

The football player's career turned out to be bright, but short-lived. Football biography Viktor Goncharenko began in 1995. Since 1998, he has already played in BATE - this is one of the best clubs in the country. As part of this team, Victor twice became the champion of Belarus.

Goncharenko's football role is defender. Throughout his career, Victor scored only a few goals, one of them an own goal. However, in other cases the footballer acted with great reliability. He played tough: Victor’s attackers were afraid. The defender's trademark was a hard and risky tackle. Unfortunately, Goncharenko rarely talked to the doctor - the doctor would have told him how such tackles would end.

In the fall of 2002, Goncharenko was 25 years old - for a football player this is the prime of his life. During training, while performing a “signature tackle”, the BATE defender suffered a torn cruciate ligament. Goncharenko survived five operations on knee joint. He could not return to his playing career...

BATE coach

Becoming a champion twice is already a good result. And yet, the successes of Goncharenko the coach turned out to be much more significant. He began studying immediately after the injury, without wasting any time, and already in 2004 he was working in the BATE structure. Viktor Goncharenko at the age of 27 he headed youth team and became almost the youngest coach in the entire post-Soviet space. Already in 2007, Viktor Goncharenko became the head coach of BATE. He will hold his post for six for long years. These years will become an entire era in the history of the team.

It’s paradoxical, but true: the early end of his playing career helped Victor quickly realize his role as a coach. How old is Viktor Goncharenko now? He's not forty. And what coach at this age has so many credentials?

The club won the Belarusian championships six times in a row (from 2008 to 2013). However, the Belarusian team played the most glorious and difficult matches in the Champions League.

The Belarusians were unlucky there. In the group stage of the League, they almost always faced star opponents: PSG, Juventus, Barcelona. However, the players were not timid, they resisted, and even took points from the giants. The most successful European Cup season for Goncharenko and BATE came in 2012, when the team was able to beat Bayern with a score of 3:1 and reached the 1/16 finals of the Europa League. It's hard to expect more from a club with a modest budget, from a minor national league. Let us remind you: in the ranking of European football associations (May 2017), Belarus is only in 17th place. Russia, by comparison, is sixth.

In 2008, Goncharenko became the youngest coach in the history of the Champions League and in the same season took an honorable 17th place in the world ranking of club coaches. The BATE coach was 31 years old at the time: usually at that age people play football. It happened that a mentor in a team uniform was confused with a football player...

RFPL

In 2013, Goncharenko switched to teams Russian Premier League. Russia has long been interested in specialists from neighboring countries. Already in 2009, Victor was considered as one of the candidates for the post of head coach of Kuban. True, then Goncharenko remained in BATE. He led Kuban much later, in 2013-2014.

Goncharenko went to Krasnodar with his small team of specialists. He was assisted by Vadim Skripchenko and Ruslan Zubik. Later, Skripchenko became an independent coach of Premier League teams, and Ruslan Zubik still works under Goncharenko at CSKA.

Before Goncharenko, Kuban was not performing brilliantly. New mentor quickly brought this club to fifth place in the standings. The team went undefeated for nine matches in a row. After such successes, Viktor Goncharenko was unexpectedly fired: as the club management explained, for an excessively “soft” attitude towards the players. Apparently this is just an excuse. We do not know the true reason for the dismissal of a successful specialist. In any case, the management of Kuban then made a major mistake: under the next coach, the team entered a losing streak.

In 2014, after his dismissal, Goncharenko took a break. He refused the leadership of the Belarusian national team and a number of other offers. In 2015, Victor led the Ural team. Goncharenko did not work at the Yekaterinburg club for long. The day before the match with Terek, Victor suddenly flew away from Yekaterinburg, and a little later his resignation was announced. There are good reasons to believe that the Belarusian specialist left the team due to his unwillingness to participate in fixed match. The club's leaders wanted to confront Goncharenko with a fait accompli, but the coach showed integrity and left (naturally, all this information cannot receive official confirmation).

In 2015-2016, Victor worked for CSKA. In 2016, the army team became champions not without the participation of Viktor Mikhailovich. This experience will be very useful for the Belarusian specialist later, when he manages CSKA on his own.

The two coaches have had a friendly relationship for many years. They met in 2006: at that time Goncharenko was interning in the Moscow team, coached by Leonid Slutsky.

In the fall of 2016, Goncharenko took charge of Ufa and showed very good results there. good results. The team no longer fought for survival and consolidated in the middle of the standings.

Finally, in December 2016, Viktor Goncharenko became the head coach of CSKA. When Slutsky was fired, the team was in a deep crisis. Personnel shortages and financial difficulties made themselves known. It was unclear whether CSKA would be able to compete for any trophies!

Under Goncharenko, the club began to perform consistently again good results. The defense played especially reliably - the army team's strong point. This year CSKA will no longer become the champion of Russia, but has a very good chance of taking second place.

Coach as a person

Victor is stern but fair. He is punctual in German and fines a player for being late for training. And if a football player makes serious mistakes during exercises, then the coach can kick him out of training. If the first half of an important match ends in failure, water bottles and other objects fly around the locker room (as the players say). All this has a positive effect on the players!
