Dmitri Viktorovich Kharine (Russian:Дми́трий Ви́кторович Ха́рин; born 16 August 1968) is a Russian football coach and former professionalfootballer, who is goalkeeping coach ofNational League South sideHemel Hempstead Town.
As a player, he was agoalkeeper from 1982 until 2004, notably in thePremier League forChelsea, after playing for Moscow clubsTorpedo,Dynamo andCSKA. He finished his professional career in theScottish Premier League withCeltic, before returning to England to play for non-leagueHornchurch. He earned international caps for theUSSR,CIS and theRussian national football teams.
Kharine joinedLuton Town in 2004 as goalkeeping coach, and remained with the club until 2013, later joiningStevenage and Hemel Hempstead Town in a similar capacity.
He played for Russian sidesTorpedo Moscow,Dynamo Moscow andCSKA Moscow in the early part of his career, before moving to EnglishFA Premier League clubChelsea in December 1992 for£400,000.
With Chelsea, Kharine impressed in their run to the1994 FA Cup Final – though he conceded four goals in the final itself – and then the club'sUEFA Cup Winners' Cup run a year later, where they reached the semi-finals in their first European campaign since the 1970s. His later years at the club were blighted by injury problems and the signing of Dutch goalkeeperEd de Goey, which limited him to 20 appearances in his last three seasons. In total, he played in 146 games for Chelsea.
Kharine was not fit for inclusion in Chelsea'sFA Cup Final triumph at the end of the1996–97 season (NorwegianFrode Grodås played instead), and was not chosen in the squad for theCup Winners' Cup andLeague Cup final victoriesa year later. WhenGianluca Vialli became Chelsea manager he established de Goey as the club's first choice goalkeeper; Kharine was limited to five appearances that season, mainly in cup games. He remained at the club as a reserve goalkeeper for a further two seasons after this.
Kharine signed forScottish sideCeltic in the summer of 1999 on afree transfer. He arrived atCeltic Park as the first signing of new management teamJohn Barnes andKenny Dalglish, but injury problems ensured that he played just 11 games for the club (8 in the league).
He was released in the summer of 2002 and signed fornon-League clubHornchurch, where he wassent off on his debut.
Kharine was also an international; as a result of thepolitical turmoil in his home nation, he ended up playing for three different teams. He won sixcaps for theUSSR, eleven for theCIS and then 23 forRussia. Aided in part by the short-lived nature of the CIS, he was their most-capped player. He represented the Soviet Union at the1988 Summer Olympics, winning a gold medal in thefootball competition. He played for the CIS at the1992 European Championships, performing well in the 0–0 draw with theNetherlands inGothenburg; and for Russia atUSA 94 andEuro 96, with his team going out in the group stages on each occasion. He won his last cap in September 1998 againstUkraine.
Kharine joinedLuton Town in 2004 as the club's goalkeeping coach. He remained with the club until 2013 when he was released from his contract. Kharine then joined fellow League Two side Stevenage until he left in 2015 shortly after Teddy Sheringham had left. Kharine is now the goalkeeping coach atHemel Hempstead Town.[2]
His younger brotherMikhail Kharin played football professionally as well. Mikhail's son Filipp Kharin is now also a professional goalkeeper.
Dmitri Kharine achieved the following successes during his football career: 1985 U'16 European Champion, 1986 USSR Cup Winner, 1988 Olympic Champion, 1990 U'21 European Champion, 1991 USSR League Champion, 1992 Runner's Up Russian Cup & 1994 Runner's Up F.A. Cup.
