Yuriy Nikiforov Biography

Yuriy Nikiforov is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on September 16, 1970 in Odessa, Odessa, Soviet Union. Yuri Valeryevich Nikiforov (alternate spelling Valeriovych; Юрий Валерьевич Никифоров , Ukrainian: Юрій Валерійович Никифоров ; born 16 September 1970) is a football coach and a former player who played mainly as a central defender.

After Gijón’s relegation from La Liga, Nikiforov played five years in the Netherlands, starting with PSV Eindhoven which he helped to consecutive Eredivisie accolades. For 2002–03, the 32-year-old signed with lowly RKC Waalwijk also in the Dutch top level, with the club finishing in a comfortable ninth place. He finished his career in Japan, after one year with Urawa Red Diamonds.

After briefly representing Ukraine, also in that year, Nikiforov switched to Russia, with which he would participate in two FIFA World Cups – 1994 and 2002 – as well as UEFA Euro 1996 (eight matches in total, but with the national side always exiting in the group stage).

In early 1993, Nikiforov moved to Russia with FC Spartak Moscow, being an instrumental defensive unit as the capital side won three out of four Premier League titles, with the player also netting regularly. His first abroad experience came with Sporting de Gijón, to where he arrived at the same time as former compatriot Dmitri Cheryshev (he would also share team with another Russian while in Asturias, Igor Lediakhov).
