Andrei Zygmantovich
Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox football biography Andrei Vikentyevich Zygmantovich or Andrey Zyhmantovich (Template:Langx, Template:Langx; born 2 December 1962) is a Belarusian football coach and a former player. He is the head coach of Belarus U19.
Mainly a defensive midfielder with good positioning and skills,[1] he played for nearly a decade with Dinamo Minsk, also having abroad stints in the Netherlands (one year) and Spain; in the early 2000s, he embarked on a coaching career.
Zygmantovich represented the Soviet Union at the 1990 World Cup and later played for Belarus.
Club career
Born in Minsk, Soviet Union, Zygmantovich started playing for Dinamo Minsk. In his second professional season, he appeared 30 times and netted twice to help his hometown side win the only Soviet League in their history, edging Dynamo Kyiv by one point. After a spell with FC Groningen, the 30-year-old returned to the club where he would spend most of his career.
In early 1993, Zygmantovich moved abroad again, now to Spain with Racing de Santander where he would play the next three full campaigns, teaming up with former compatriots (Russian) Ilshat Faizulin, Dmitri Popov and Dmitri Radchenko. In 1993–94, he was an instrumental element as the Cantabrians achieved one of their best ever finishes in La Liga (eighth).[2]
Zygmantovich started coaching in 2001 in his country, including the national team's under-19. In 2007, he moved to Lithuania with FBK Kaunas.
International career
Zygmantovich made his debut for the Soviet Union on 28 March 1984, in an exhibition game with West Germany. He represented the nation at the 1990 FIFA World Cup, scoring a goal against Cameroon (4–0, although in a final group stage exit) which turned out to be his last international game for the country.
Zygmantovich later appeared for Belarus in nine matches, his first being a 1–1 friendly draw with Ukraine in Minsk, on 28 October 1992.[3]
