Oleh Protasov Walerijowytsch ( Ukrainian Олег Валерійович Протасов ; Russian Олег Валерьевич Протасов Oleg Protasov Valeryevich ; * 4. February 1964 in Dnipropetrovsk , Ukrainian SSR , Soviet Union ) is a former Soviet , now Ukrainian football player and current football coach .

Club career

Record player at Dnieper Dnipropetrovsk

Protasov began his active football career in the 1970s as a junior player from Dnieper Dnepropetrovsk . From then on, he was trained as a striker among the youngsters there and was first used in the professional field in 1982 . In his first season in the professional team of the club, he was used in four championship games and was already successful once as a goalscorer. Nevertheless, he spent the rest of the season mainly in the youth area of ​​Dnieper Dnjepropetrovsk, where his offensive talent was quickly recognized and promoted. In the following season, the trained striker was already increasingly used in the professional team, where he scored seven goals in a total of 21 league appearances. With the admission of the young offensive talent for Dnieper Dnjepropetrovsk also the successes followed. Previously, they only acted in the middle class, which was also evident from the fact that in previous years, in addition to places in the midfield of the league, the club had even been active in the Soviet second division for a short time. In Protassov's second professional season he reached first place with the team with four points ahead of Spartak Moscow and was thus allowed to call himself champion of the Vysschaja League 1983 .

Even at this time of the season was the up to Protassows outlet to the end of 1987, existing storm Trio " Taran - Ljutyj -Protassow" that was responsible along with some other players for the most goals in that time. With every season the young Soviet striker, who was appointed to the national team of the USSR for the first time in 1984, increased his scoring risk . In the league, he scored a total of 17 goals in 34 appearances in 1984, placing him in third place on the league-wide top scorer list with two other players. At the end of the championship, however, the team was barely able to prevail against the surprise club Zenit Leningrad and the long-standing strong club Spartak Moscow and ended up in third place.

After being used in all league games in 1984, he was also used in all championship games in the 1985 game year, except for one encounter. He acted very aggressively and even scored 35 goals within the league by the end of the season. This was also the highest number of league goals that a player had ever scored in a single season since the league was founded in 1936 (only Nikita Simonjan scored as many goals in 1950 with 34 goals). Even after that, no player exceeded this number of goals in a single playing time; With his 35 goals Protasov scored almost exactly half the goals that the entire team has contributed this season. After the successes in 1985, in which he and the team again ranked third in the final table, a low for the entire team followed in 1986 . But even in this low, in which the team only made it to eleventh place in the table and was only five points ahead of a relegation place, the goal danger of the Ukrainian striker with the strongest attack at the time was noticeable. In 23 appearances, the rest of the season he had to pause due to injury or was active in the national team, he had a record of 17 goals and thus ranked second on the league-wide scorers list together with Sergei Rodionov from Spartak Moscow.

Vote for footballer of the year

After he had already celebrated some successes under Volodimir Jemez , he also succeeded in doing so with the new coach Yevhen Kucherewskyj , who took over the scepter at Dnieper Dnepropetrovsk in 1987. After the league was reduced from 18 to 16 teams before the start of the 1986 season, the league was continued in this system until its dissolution (with the exception of the 1990 season ) and Protasov managed to be used again in all league games of a season. In 30 championship games he scored 18 goals, which meant the top scorer's crown for the second time in his career. Furthermore, he made it back with the team in the fight for the championship title, which the team lost to Spartak Moscow just before the end of the season and had to be content with the runner-up title. For Protasov personally, things went even better this year, as he was awarded the trophy for Footballer of the Year in the USSR for his achievements so far at the end of the season . After 145 league games and 95 goals, Protassov's time at Dnieper ended this year, making himself the best scorer in club history. After a successful time at his home club, with which he made it to the European Cup in the 1984/85 season and was only eliminated on penalties in the quarter-finals against Girondins Bordeaux , Protasov decided that it was time to close the club switch. So he was drawn to the Vysschaya League in 1988 to Dynamo Kiev , which he believes was the most successful Soviet football club.

Further successes with Dynamo Kiev

After the move to Kiev , Protasov's goal danger also decreased. Nevertheless, he had a record of eleven goals in 29 league games and had a large share in the second place, which the team achieved at the end of the season behind Protassov's former club Dnieper Dnepropetrovsk. The team was also automatically qualified for the 1989/90 UEFA Cup and came in this up to the third round , where it was defeated by the eventual finalists Fiorentina 1-0. Meanwhile, the once so strong attacking striker within the league failed to match the successes of recent years. In the 1989 season he scored only seven goals in 26 games played, but was still the team's top scorer along with midfielder Hennadij Lytowchenko , with whom he had previously played at Dnieper Dnepropetrovsk and will later also be active at Olympiacos.

Since Protasov with the team in the 1989/90 season the football cup of the Soviet Union won the team thus automatically qualified for the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup the season 1990/91 . Protassow, who came third in the final table with the team in 1989, was no longer part of the team at that time when they made it to the quarter-finals of this competition and only beat there in March 1991 with a total score of 3: 4 the later finalists FC Barcelona eliminated. Within the league, things went much better for Dynamo Kiev in 1990 than in previous seasons. Although Protasov was used in only 16 championship games, his goal danger was again clearly noticeable. His twelve goals made him not only the team's top scorer, but also that of the entire Soviet league. However, he shared this success with Valery Walentinowitsch Schmarow , who was a year older and a striker for Spartak Moscow, who was used in 23 of the 24 possible league appearances.

After he played a strong striker duo with Igor Ivanovich Belanov at Dynamo Kiev, especially with the former football of the year in Europe, two more experienced strikers joined Oleg Anatoljewitsch Salenko and Sergei Nikolajewitsch Juran from the game year 1989 and 1990 respectively. The latter was one of the main people responsible for the championship title, which the team secured at the end of the 1990 game year and thus made itself the most successful club in the history of the highest Soviet football league, even before Spartak Moscow. After the successes with Dynamo Kiev and the participation in the European Cup of National Champions 1991/92 fixed by the championship title Protasov decided to leave the club for Greece . There, the reigning cup winner Olympiacos Piraeus took him on together with his team-mate Lytovchenko as a new offensive force in the squad.

High achiever at Olympiacos

In addition to Juri Nikolajewitsch Sawitschew (10 goals), Panagiotis "Yiotis" Tsalouchidis (8 goals) and Panagiotis Sofianopoulos (7 goals), he was one of the top performers with a total of 13 goals, but could not stand against the aging but still efficient Nikos Anastopoulos , who was the team's top scorer with 17 points, prevailed. In 30 missions in a total of 34 championship games, he made it with the team behind Panathinaikos Athens on the second place in the table in the final classification of Alpha Ethniki 1990/91 . The following season 1991/92 was similar, if not a little better, in which he finished the current season with the team again only as runner-up, but scored in the Greek Cup of the same season and in the subsequent Super Cup . After defeating PAOK Thessaloniki only in the replay in the cup final , Protasov and the team also won the subsequent Super Cup, where they defeated AEK Athens 3-1.

Oleh Protasov, born in today's Ukraine, acted very aggressively and scored 14 goals in his 22 league appearances. Due to the cup success, the trained striker took part with Olympiacos in the European Cup Winners' Cup 1992/93 , where the team made it to the quarter-finals and there against the Spanish representative Atlético Madrid with a total score of 2: 4 from the return leg of the current competition retired. As in previous seasons, Protassov's performance remained at a similar level in 1992/93 , which was also reflected in his balance sheet at the end of the season. He scored 13 goals in a total of 24 appearances in what was then Alpha Ethniki. After a rather insignificant third place in the league, the team with Protassov's help made it into the final of the Greek Football Cup 1992/93 , where the team was defeated 0: 1 against Panathinaikos Athens by a goal from record goal scorer Krzysztof Warzycha .

The 1993/94 season went very quickly for Protasov, where he was used in only nine league games in which he came eight times to scoring and then left the club for Asia . After his longtime companion Lytówtschenko had already left him at the end of last season, he did the same and left the Greek club after 85 championship appearances in which he scored 48 goals and moved to Japan to Gamba Osaka . With Bent Christensen Arensøe , the Greeks quickly found a suitable replacement for the Ukrainian team player.

Untitled in Japan

At the Japanese club Protasov, who was courted by various international clubs in his time in the Soviet Union, made it with his eleven goals in 27 completed games alongside Toshihiro Yamaguchi with 16 and 17 goals for the team's second-most dangerous player. He also met with Sjarhej Alejnikau and Achrik Sokratowitsch Zweiba on old acquaintances from Soviet times with the team that was already playing in the J. League , the top division in Japanese football . In the league, Gamba Osaka made it only tenth place in the table in 1994 . This trend did not change in the 1995 game year either. This season Protassow was again the internal vice scorer king and only has to admit defeat to the experienced newcomer Hans Gillhaus , who contributed 20 hits. After a repeatedly bad position in the table at the end of the season, Protasov decided to change clubs again and came back to Greece.

The time at Veria FC

After the unsuccessful time in Japan's first class, the then Greek first division club Veria FC took him into its professional squad. There, however, he was unable to continue his previous performances, which is why his scoring risk steadily decreased, which is also due to the fact that he was often used in attacking midfield and thus did not find his way towards goal as often as he did it has previously done it as a center forward, but has increasingly established itself as a classic ball distributor. With the team he occupied a place in the middle of the table until the end of the season and had a record of four hits in 30 completed championship games. In the team he was one of the veterans, alongside players like Tasos Mitropoulos or Panagiotis "Yiotis" Tsalouchidis , with whom he already played at Olympiacos, and was the third oldest player in the squad with his 32 and 33 years of age.

This did not change in the 1997/98 season , in which Protasov became the second oldest player and scored seven goals in 32 missions. After another mediocre placement at the end of the season, the native Ukrainian decided to change clubs again and therefore wanted to start his active career as a football player with AO Proodeftiki , who had been promoted to Alpha Ethniki just before a season and was playing for the first time since the 1970s in the top Greek league , let it fade away.

Career finale at Proodeftiki and Panelefsiniakos

At the club from Nikea he was mostly used as a regular player in the 1998/99 season and brought it to 28 league games in which he scored five goals. As the oldest player in the squad, the experienced offensive player met the record goalscorer of the Soviet league and the Soviet national football team, Oleg Blochin , who had made a name for himself as a coach, especially in the Greek region since his career ended in the early 1990s, this season did, and at that time was engaged in opposing clubs in the league. Protasov trained in the early 1990s when he was active at Olympiacos under the experienced Blochin, who also brought him into the team on his debut as a coach. After a twelfth place in the final classification with Proodeftiki, the now 35-year-old decided to change clubs one last time and then to end his career as an active player in professional football.

So it happened that Protasov switched to AO Panelefsiniakos , who had just risen to the first class in the previous season, but had to return to the Beta Ethniki after one season at the end of the 1998/99 season . In the second-highest league in Greek football, the trained striker managed to record two championship games in which he scored one goal. After the team just missed relegation in the previous season due to the weaker goal difference, the team briefly got into the relegation battle again in the Beta Ethniki, but was able to prevail in the end and secure the stay in Greece's second division. In this season Protassow ended his active career as a professional football player after over 448 professional league appearances and 214 professional igators.

National team career

Junior World Championship 1983 and Mexico 1986

Even as a youngster Protasov was active in the various youth selections and was most recently in the Soviet U-20 national team, with which he took part in the Junior World Cup in 1983 . At the tournament, which was held in Mexico , the trained striker was used in all three international matches and already retired with the team in the group stage as the last in Group D from the current competition. He also scored a goal in the 3-2 defeat against his colleagues from the Netherlands . Protasov made his international debut for the Soviet national soccer team on March 28, 1984 in a 2-1 defeat against West Germany in Hanover . The offensive player, who was 20 years and 52 days old when he made his debut, scored his first goal for his home country in his second international match, a 3-1 win over Finland on May 15, 1984, and then played in two more friendly matches before he played his first game in a World Cup qualification on October 10, 1984.

In 1985 a total of three international appearances followed in the Nehru Cup , which the team also won after a 2-1 final victory over Yugoslavia . The Soviet Union also won this competition in the following three years, although only one Soviet selection took part in the tournament and not the official national team; for Protasov, winning the tournament in 1985 was the only one in this competition. After Protassow had completed seven of the eight qualifying games for the 1986 World Cup , he and his team managed to successfully take part in the World Cup finals in Mexico as second in Group 6 behind Denmark . In this Protasov was then also used and completed a group game against Canada , where he was used from the start and in the 57th minute of the game, one minute before the leading goal of his team, by the strong offensive Igor Ivanovich Belanov , with whom he years later should also play at Dynamo Kiev, was replaced.

1988 European Championship finalist and 1990 World Cup participation

In 1987, Protasov made five appearances in qualifying matches for the European Championship in 1988 , through which he qualified with the Soviet national team for the European Championship finals in Germany . There he was used in all five games of his team and with his two goals was not only the top scorer of his team, but together with the German Rudi Völler also the second best scorer behind Marco van Basten . With the team he was only eliminated in the final against the Netherlands after a 2-0 defeat there. Even before that, he managed his only hat trick in the national team in 1988, which he won on March 23, 1988 in a game against Greece , the country in which Protasov will spend a large part of his career, which the Soviet Union won 4-0 could decide.

After that, he completed all eight qualifying games for the 1990 World Cup in 1988 and 1989 , achieved first group place in Group 3 with the Soviet Union and thus managed to successfully take part in the World Cup together with group runner-up Austria, ahead of Turkey , GDR and Iceland -Final round 1990 . Even before the World Cup start in the summer of 1990 Protasov took with the national team at the Marlboro Cup of the year 1990 in Los Angeles , where he managed the team to third place. He himself was used in two international matches. At the World Cup finals in Italy , however, the team supervised by the legendary Soviet coach Valery Lobanowskyj could not prevail and was already eliminated from the current competition in Group B as bottom group, although they were initially considered favorites alongside Argentina and also had great chances for one Had progressed as the first three teams in the group made it to the round of 16.

Successful European Championship qualification in 1992 and disdained star striker

In 1990 and 1991 Protassow completed four qualifying games for the European Championships in 1992 and managed to qualify with the team as group winners again for a European Championship finals. However , the trained striker did not take part in the European Championship finals in Sweden . With the last qualifying game, a 3-0 victory over Cyprus , in which he also scored his last international goal, he ended his career in the Soviet national football team at the age of 27. Up to this point he had played 68 internationals in his home country and scored a total of 29 goals, which in turn made him the second-best goalscorer in the history of the Soviet national team behind Oleg Blochin . The game against Cyprus was also the last of the Soviet Union, which was finally disbanded on December 21, 1991.

On April 29 of the following year, Ukraine's first official international match was played, for which Protasov would have been eligible to play due to his place of birth. For the game, which was played against Hungary , players like Protasov or Oleh Volodymyrovich Kusnjezow , who had also participated in the European Championship qualifiers, would have been eligible to play. Due to the lack of funding for the Federazija Futbolu Ukrajiny by Moscow, they were forced to use only players who were currently active in Ukraine and could therefore not access legionnaires. Since Protasov was already active at Olympiacos Pyraus in Greece at that time, he had no chance of being called up to join the new CIS team.

At the age of 30, the offensive player came to an international match. He completed this on September 7, 1994 in a qualifying match for the European Championship in 1996 , when he was in action for the Ukraine over the full game in the 2-0 defeat against Lithuania . This should be his only appearance in the Ukrainian national soccer team.

Coaching career

As a trainer at Olympiakos and AEL Limassol

After the end of his active football career in the 1999/2000 season followed for Protasov around two years, in which he paused and made his coaching license. In 2002 he returned to professional football and in February took over as coach from Olympiacos Piraeus , where he replaced the former professional footballer and current coach Takis Lemonis . He then led the team to the 2002/03 championship and qualified with the team for the subsequent 2003/04 Champions League . As Protassow said before the competition, you are in a very difficult group with opponents like Juventus Turin , Real Sociedad San Sebastián and Galatasaray Istanbul . The outsider image was finally lived up to in the current competition, where they were eliminated in the group stage as bottom group with a goal difference of 6:13 and only four points scored. In the last game they conceded a clear 0: 7 defeat in the away game against Juventus Turin.

Within the Alpha Ethniki he and his team lost a home game against PAOK Thessaloniki during the 2003/04 season , which meant the first home defeat against PAOK in over 15 years. Although the good performance in the league and in the cup Protasov left the Greek club during the current season, who then appointed Siniša Gogić as interim coach. Before that, the Ukrainian led the team to the semifinals of the Greek Football Cup, Protassov's actual successor Nikos Alefantos , who only stayed at the club for three months, won with the team at the end of the competition. The bitter aftertaste, however, was that Protasov left the club at a difficult time in which the team could still have made a lot of decisions. At the end of the season they were only runner-up behind Panathinaikos Athens , but still had the trophy in their pockets.

Within just 24 hours of the dismissal of Belgian Henk Houwaart in December 2004 , the Cypriot club AEL Limassol brought the former Soviet international to the team as the successor to the Belgian, where he signed a two-year contract. When he got into the relegation battle with the team until the end of the season, his two-year contract was terminated by mutual agreement and he left the Cypriot club after only a short period of work. In June 2005 Protasov came to his next station, which led him to Romania to Steaua Bucharest .

Flying visit to Steaua Bucharest and engagement with Dnipro

There, after the departure of the Italian ex-team goalkeeper and current coach Walter Zenga, he replaced the interim coach Dumitru Dumitriu , who stood in for him for a short time, and also signed a two-year contract as in his previous station. With the team he failed in the further course of 2005 only narrowly in the qualification for the Champions League 2005/06 , where they were eliminated in the third qualifying round with a total score of 3: 4 against Rosenborg Trondheim . Much better things went for the team, however, in the Romanian championship , in which Protasov had a large share in the championship title at the end of the 2005/06 season . Until November / December 2005 he looked after the team in 15 championship games and some other competitive games and was then replaced by Cosmin Olăroiu , who led the team to the final championship title. Nevertheless, Protasov was voted coach of the year in Romania at the end of the season .

After his only brief engagement with Steaua Bucharest, an offer was made to him in December 2005 by his former club, now known as Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk . Soon after, the change took shape, with Protassow having his last competitive game with the Romanians in mid-December and then leaving the club for home. As early as December 19, 2005 it was announced that the returnees had signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with his former training club, where he also became a record goal scorer. Immediately after the winter break, he made his competitive debut as a coach in early March 2006 and achieved a passable sixth place in the closely spaced final ranking with the team by the end of the 2005/06 season .

Also in the 2006/07 season Protasov led his team successfully and brought it to fourth place in the table by the end of the season, which meant a starting place in the second qualifying round of the 2007/08 UEFA Cup . There the team was able to prevail against the Polish club GKS Bełchatów with a total score of 5: 3, but was eliminated in the following first round in the main competition due to the away goals rule against FC Aberdeen from the current competition. As in the previous season, the team trained by the longstanding Soviet international reached fourth place in the final table in the 2007/08 season and was thus set for the second qualifying round of the 2008/09 UEFA Cup . There the team was knocked out again due to the away goals rule against AC Bellinzona .

Although his contract with Dnipro Dnipropetrowsk had a term of three and a half years, Protasov rose early in late August 2008 from his contract, which he dissolved by mutual agreement with the club in the current 2009/09 season. The main reason for the early elimination was the disappointing result against AC Bellinzona in the UEFA Cup qualifiers.

On a short visit to Kuban Krasnodar

In early October 2008 Protasov came to his next coaching station, which led him to the Russian second division club FK Kuban Krasnodar . He looked after the club from the 37th round and won with the team six of the total of seven games still outstanding at that time and rose with the team at the end of the 2008 game year in the highest league in Russian football , the Premjer League . Nevertheless, he left the club again in November 2008 and was therefore not even involved with the Russian club for two months. The main reason for his departure was the financial crisis that had existed since 2007 , which hit the club particularly hard at that time and caused the club's budget to shrink. His successor in 2009 was the multiple Russian International Sergei Ivanovich Ovchinnikow .

Time at Iraklis Thessaloniki

After various engagements as a coach at Eastern and Southeastern European clubs, Protasov has been the Vice President of the Ukrainian Football Association since 2017 .

After a little more than four months of being without a club, Protasov joined the Greek club Iraklis Thessaloniki in late March, succeeding Makis Katsavakis , who looked after the club from 2008 to 2009. With the team he reached in the densely staggered rear part of the table with 33 points in tenth place in the Greek Super League 2008/09 . The team achieved a similar placement in the following season 2009/10 , in which Protasov looked after the team until his departure in October 2009. His dismissal from the Saloniki club was not surprising, however, as the team's performance was constantly down and he and the team were only 14th (out of 16) in the table until his dismissal at the end of October. In addition, the team in the Greek soccer cup of the 2009/10 season was eliminated in the fourth round against the then third division AO Trikala with 0: 1 from the current competition. He was succeeded by the long-standing Greek International Savvas Kofidis , who was also a long-term actor in Saloniki.

New challenge: FK Rostov

On December 19, 2009, the Russian first division club FK Rostov published a press release in which he announced that Oleh Protasov will take over the post of head coach of the club from the coming season. In addition to Protasov, his long-time companion Nikos Karidas , who already worked with him at Olympiacos and Steaua Bucharest , was brought into the coaching staff. In the 2010 game year he and the team reached a place in the middle of the table in the table, which is sometimes quite dense, with ninth place.
