Won the treble with Alaba
Ukrainian ex-Bayern star collects money for Russia
Anatoly Tymoshchuk is once again causing a stir: the Ukrainian soccer legend, who once played for FC Bayern Munich, is raising money for Russia and causing a stir in his war-torn home country.
In 2013, he won the treble for FC Bayern Munich together with David Alaba and Co. and was considered a hero in Ukraine for years - but Anatoly Tymoshchuk is now unwelcome in his home country. After numerous upsets, the 45-year-old has now also taken part in an explosive fundraising campaign. He donated a signed Zenit jersey with the inscription "Leningrad - Hero City".
"He always finds new abysses"
The proceeds went to the Russian region of Kursk, of all places, where Russia launched a counter-offensive a few weeks ago. "Anatoly is very creative when it comes to falling as low as possible. He always finds new depths. This can no longer surprise me," his ex-wife Nadjeschda Nawrozkaja told the "TAZ" newspaper. "Anatoly does what he is told. It's obvious that the action was organized by the club."
Most international matches
The former FC Bayern Munich professional has now also had his coaching license revoked in Ukraine. In addition, the Ukrainian federation has revoked all of his merits. Tymoshchuk leads the list with 144 caps, ahead of Andriy Yarmolenko (124) and Andriy Shevchenko (111).
Tymoshchuk, who comes from the western Ukrainian city of Lutsk, played for Donetsk club Shakhtar for a long time before moving to Munich for four years in 2009. After a stopover at Zenit St. Petersburg, he completed his playing career in Kazakhstan at Quairat Almaty in 2016. He has been an assistant coach at Zenit since 2017.
