Gordeev Andrey Lvovich - a famous Russian footballer and coach. He played as a defender, spent most of his playing career at the Anji football club. He is a coach of FC "Harvest" since 2019.
Biography
The future athlete was born in April 1975 on the first day in the Russian capital Moscow. From an early age, Andrew began to get involved in sports, especially he liked to play football. He dreamed of ever being among those who engage in this sport professionally. Parents were not opposed to the hobbies of their son and once decided to take him to the football academy. The choice fell on a small school "Timiryazevets". The section does not have a professional team, and Gordeev was accepted without any problems.
Later, he moved to another football school, FC Chertanovo, and today it is one of the best youth academies in the Russian Federation. For some time, Andrei, like most boys, began to dream of making a career as a world-famous goalodor, and so at first he played as a striker. But the academy quickly realized that a talented and extremely active young man was not in his place. The coaches removed Gordeev to the position of midfielder, but even there he fell out of place. Finally, when he was put in defense, the efficiency and benefits that he brings to the team grew significantly.
Career
Andrey Gordeev began his professional career in football in his native Chertanovo in 1993. Having played for the club two years 107 times appeared on the field and scored twenty-two goals. After a short break, he moved to the Moscow “Dynamo” in 1996. The club performed at the highest level in the Russian championship, but despite its potential to occupy a key position in the team, it could not. In two seasons, he appeared on the field just ten times and was marked by one goal taking.
In 1998, Gordeev’s contract with Dynamo expired and for six months he was in the status of a free agent. In 1999, he received an offer from “Anji”, in which he spent most of his playing career. For six years, he regularly appeared on the field and helped his team earn points. In 2005, he moved to Fakel, where he spent one season, and the next year he became a player at the Sport Academy, where, after one season, he ended his playing career.
Coaching
He took his first steps as a coach at the Saturn Football Club, first coaching the youth squad, and then the main one. In 2011, he was invited to the Ukrainian Metallurg from Donetsk, but because of unsatisfactory results, he was fired after a single season. Later he worked in Anzhi, Siberia and the Khabarovsk SKA. In 2019, Gordeev headed the football club from the third division, Harvest, where he still works.
