Former player of the national team of Ukraine Anatoly Timoshchuk told about his activities.

In mid-March, Anatoly Tymoshchuk entered Zenit's coaching staff and became assistant to Mircea Lucescu.

"I'm interested in what football looks like from a coaching point of view, I like to participate in the training process - even if I do not already play, but continue to do what I like," Tymoschuk quotes Zenit's official website.

On the relationship with Mircea Lucescu: "We have always been good friends, without any problems. When I met with Mr. after I left Shakhtar, they always talked warmly. Lately we have also been always in touch. When people speak the football language, they will always understand each other. Before such a team as Zenith, there are only the highest goals, and we should go together to solve them ".

"Now for me the main thing is to start my way in work as a coach. I graduated from the course, got a license.

It was interesting to study coaching in theory, but now it's time for practical application of knowledge - it is necessary to pass through myself all that I have learned. I'm interested in working with the team, especially in Zenith there are a lot of guys with whom I played and who I know and understand well.

About his future: "If we talk about the future, we always want to work in a club that sets itself the highest goals, which believes in you, in your football philosophy. Without exaggeration, Zenit is one of the teams that fits these parameters ".
