Andrei Kanchelskis Biography

Andrei Kanchelskis is one of the most popular and richest Football Manager who was born on January 23, 1969 in Kropyvnytskyi, Ukraine. Andrei Antanasovich Kanchelskis (Ukrainian: Андрій Антанасович Канчельскіс ; Russian: Андрей Антанасович Канчельскис ; born 23 January 1969) is a Russian professional football manager and a former player. He is the manager of Navbahor Namangan in Uzbekistan.

Kanchelskis, who was born to Lithuanian parents in the Ukrainian SSR, was capped 23 times for the Soviet Union (including its brief successor, the CIS), scoring three goals. He scored, on November 1991 in Cyprus, the last goal in Soviet national team history. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union Kanchelskis chose to represent Russia, considered the USSR’s official successor team by FIFA.

In the 1992–93 season, Kanchelskis played on the right flank for the first half of the season before being replaced for the second half of the season by Lee Sharpe, a star of the 1991 Cup Winners’ Cup season who returned from long- term injury and illness, with Ryan Giggs now the favoured choice in Sharpe’s previous position on the left flank. Nevertheless, Kanchelskis was a key part of the team who won the first ever Premier League title, scoring three goals in 27 league games appearances albeit 13 of these were as a substitute, as United’s 26-year league title wait came to an end. He was one of only 13 non- British or Irish players to play on the opening weekend of the Premier League along with Jan Stejskal, United’s goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel, Robert Warzycha, Roland Nilsson, Eric Cantona (who began the season still with Leeds United before his November arrival at Old Trafford), Hans Segers, John Jensen, Anders Limpar, Gunnar Halle, Craig Forrest, Michel Vonk and Ronnie Rosenthal.

Kanchelskis won the 1991 European Super Cup with United and wore the number 7 shirt during the match. He was a regular member of the United team, playing in 34 out of 42 league games in the 1991–92 season as United finished second to Leeds United in a title race that they had led for most of the season before being overhauled during the final few weeks. However, compensation for Kanchelskis and his teammates had come at Wembley Stadium on 12 April 1992 when a 1–0 win over Nottingham Forest gave them their first ever Football League Cup triumph. Kanchelskis scored five league goals that season, finding the net eight times in all competitions. His first United goal was against Sheffield United in a 2–0 league win at Old Trafford on 2 November 1991.

His first season with the club saw him score 16 goals to cap a season of excellent performances which made him arguably the best right-winger in the country. He rapidly gained cult status with Everton fans especially after his two goals against rivals Liverpool at Anfield and his performances helped the club to a sixth-place finish, their best finish since 1990, though it wasn’t quite enough to secure a UEFA Cup place. He also scored a hat-trick in a 5–2 win at Sheffield Wednesday in April 1996, the first Everton player to score hat-trick in any competition for over two years.

At the time of his arrival at Old Trafford, United were in the process of finishing sixth in the Football League First Division and had won the previous season’s FA Cup.
