Dmitri Alenichev Dmitri Anatolyevich Alenichev ( ; born 20 October 1972 ) is a Russian football coach , former player and politician . Club career . Despite being a Spartak Moscow fan , Alenichev debuted 1991 for Moscow rivals Lokomotiv Moscow , where he played four years before moving to Spartak , where in five years he won three Russian leagues and two cups , and was also elected Russian player of the year in 1997 . Won Malta International Football Tournament 1996 . He won a transfer to Italian Serie A side Roma , played 21 matches in the first season , but after only seven matches played in his second season , he moved to Perugia in December 1999 . His stint in Italy overall proved to be unsuccessful and he was eventually considered to be one of Italian footballs biggest foreign flops . In 2000 , he moved to Portuguese Primeira Liga side Porto , where he made a strong first impression , scored the equalizing goal against rivals Sporting CP in the first leg of the 2000 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira . He was also impressive overall in first season , as Porto captured the Taça de Portugal after winning the final 2–0 against Marítimo , Alenichev scoring the second goal . The following season , Alenichev suffered some animosity from new Porto head coach Octávio Machado ( similar to his compatriot Sergei Ovchinnikov ) and spent most of the first half of the season sidelined , under the shadow of Deco . When Octávio was sacked and replaced with José Mourinho , Alenichevs prospects changed . Although he was not a regular in the starting 11 , he was usually the first player substituted onto the pitch , particularly when Mourinho shifted from a 4–3–3 to a 4–4–2 formation . A starting player in the 2003 UEFA Cup Final and mid-match substitute in the 2004 UEFA Champions League Final , Alenichev scored in both contests . In the former , against Celtic , he scored the second goal , following a pass from Deco ; and in the latter , against Monaco , he closed the scoreline with a powerful volley shot following a deflected through cross from Derlei . This made him one of only three players to score goals in two consecutive cup finals of different European competitions , the others being Ronald Koeman and Ronaldo . During UEFA Euro 2004 , in which Alenichev played in all three of Russias matchups , he announced his desire to return to Spartak Moscow . In appreciation for the services done for the club , the FC Porto board made no objections to the transfer .

Following that , Alenichev was fined , dismissed from the first team , transfer listed 14 April and on 10 September his contract was finally terminated by mutual agreement . This became the end of Alenichevs football career . Managerial career . In 2011 , he joined FC Arsenal Tula as a manager and led the club through three promotions in 3 seasons from fourth-level Russian Amateur Football League to the top-level Russian Premier League . Arsenal was relegated after just one season in the top tier , and Alenichev left Tula . In June 2015 , he became manager of his former club Spartak Moscow . He resigned as Spartak manager on 5 August 2016 following Spartaks elimination in the 2016–17 UEFA Europa League third qualifying round by AEK Larnaca . At the end of that season , Spartak won the Russian Premier League for the first time in 16 years under the management of former Alenichevs assistant Massimo Carrera . On 5 June 2017 , Alenichev signed a two-year contract with Russian second division club Yenisey Krasnoyarsk . In his first season , he led Yenisey to promotion to the Russian Premier League for the first time in clubs history . He was replaced as Yenisey coach after the club was relegated from the Premier League at the end of the 2018–19 season . Style of play . A technically gifted and offensive-minded midfielder , Alenichevs favoured role was as a number 10 behind the strikers ; he was also deployed as a central midfielder on occasion throughout his career , although he lacked both the physicality and tactical sense to excel in this position .

On 14 June 2007 , he was voted the representative of the Omsk Oblast in the Federation Council of Russia .
