Andrey Valeryevich Tikhonov (Russian:Андрей Валерьевич Тихонов; born 16 October 1970) is a Russianfootball manager and a formermidfielder. Tikhonov is primarily known for having played forSpartak Moscow and theRussia national football team.
Tikhonov was spotted by the then-Spartak managerOleg Romantsev, while playing for Titan Reutov, in a game against Spartak Moscow reserves. Tikhonov quickly broke into the starting line-up at his new club, becoming a key player at Spartak soon afterwards.[2] Tikhonov won a total of eightRussian League titles with Spartak, before falling out withOleg Romantsev. He then had a short loan spell inIsrael, before signing a contract withKrylia Sovetov Samara. In February 2001, Tikhonov was training withSouthampton, even featuring in one friendly for the club, but no deal was reached, mainly because the player already had a running one-year contract with Krylia Sovetov at the time.[3]
An icon among Spartak fans, Tikhonov is often viewed as an underachiever on the international stage. He made his international debut in 1996, in a friendly againstMalta.[citation needed]
In early 2011, he announced that he would be returning toSpartak Moscow but it was initially unconfirmed whether the 40-year-old midfielder would get playing time or whether he would simply be a coach. Later however, it was confirmed that he would be part of the squad.[4]
He then started for the red-and-whites in a cup quarter-final game againstKrasnodar on 20 April 2011. He got a warm reception from the home fans and was substituted off in the second half. On 18 September 2011, Tikonov has played his farewell match as Spartak defeated his former team, Krylya Sovetov, 3–0. Tikhonov made an assist and participated in another attack that ended with a goal before being substituted just before the end of the first half.[5]
On 1 June 2017, he leftYenisey Krasnoyarsk to joinKrylia Sovetov Samara as a manager.[6] He returnedKrylia Sovetov Samara back to theRussian Premier League at the end of the 2017–18 season. After 9 games in the 2018–19 season, with Krylia in the 15th place, Tikhonov was dismissed from Krylia Sovetov.[7]
On 24 October 2021, the club Tikhonov was managing,Astana, left the field for 20 minutes in aKazakhstan Premier League game againstKairat to protest the refereeing. Astana returned to the game and the match was finished. On 27 October 2021,Kazakhstan Football Federation banned Tikhonov from any official football activity in Kazakhstan for 2 years.[8]
His sonMikhail Tikhonov is now a professional footballer.
