Dmitri Yevgenyevich SychevTemplate:Efn (Template:Lang-rus; born 26 October 1983) is a Russian professional football official and a former player who played as a forward or as a midfielder. He is the president of Irtysh Omsk. He was hailed by the international press as "The Russian Michael Owen", because of his pace, and was dubbed "the most sensational young Russian forward since Vladimir Beschastnykh".[1] He was well known for his blinding pace and agility.
Early life
Sychev was born in Omsk, a city in south-central Russia. He spent his formative years at St. Petersburg's famous Smena football academy before joining FC Spartak Tambov, a second division club. At that time he played as a midfielder.[2]
Club career
Spartak Moscow and Marseille
After having trials at clubs in FC Nantes and FC Metz, Sychev was picked up by Spartak Moscow in January 2002, where he scored eight goals in his first 12 matches, and it was during that time when he was transformed into a striker. With Spartak he reached the final of the 2002 Commonwealth of Independent States Cup. He scored 6 goals and finished second on the top scorer list, after coming in as a substitute in every match he played.[3] He entered the symbolic top players list of the tournament.[4]
In August 2002, Sychev announced he was quitting Spartak, by giving his employers three months' notice. Having already signed a five-year contract with the Russian club he was banned from football for four months by the Russian Professional Football League (RPFL).
After finishing this suspension, Sychev signed a five-year contract with Olympique de Marseille, rejecting an offer from Dynamo Kyiv. He was used as a midfielder, both left and right, but was usually a substitute during his time in France.[5][6]
Lokomotiv Moscow
In late January 2004, Sychev returned to Russia to join Lokomotiv Moscow on a four-year contract. His transfer played a role in manager Yuri Syomin's decision to change the starting formation from 5–3–2 to 4–2–3–1 or 4–4–1–1, which would help Sychev form a strong attacking partnership with team's primary playmaker and captain Dmitri Loskov.[7] He went on to claim the 2004 Russian Premier League title and the Russian Footballer of the Year award in his first season back in Russia, courtesy of his 15 goals and 4 assists in 27 league games. The following year, he continued his victorious streak with the club by winning the 2005 Russian Super Cup. However, in August 2005, he sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury and was forced to miss the rest of the year, which saw Lokomotiv dropping points in the closing stages of the league and eventually losing the title to CSKA Moscow. In May 2007, Sychev also won the 2006–07 Russian Cup. Sychev played mostly as a striker, except the period when Lokomotiv was coached by Anatoliy Byshovets and Rashid Rakhimov respectively. During those times, he was mainly employed as a midfielder. Sychev started playing again in his natural position with the appointment of Yury Syomin. In 2009, he was voted by Lokomotiv fans as the player of the season. In the 2012–13 season, under manager Slaven Bilić, Sychev lost his place in the line-up (only four games in the first half of season, including the national cup).
Loan spells
In March 2013, Sychev moved to Dinamo Minsk on loan until July of the same year.[8]
In July 2013, after returning from Dinamo Minsk, Sychev moved to fellow Russian Premier League side Volga Nizhny Novgorod on a year-long loan deal.[9] Sychev featured in 16 league games for Volga, failing to score in any of them, and returned to Lokomotiv Moscow at the end of the season following Volga's relegation to the Russian National Football League.
On 16 March 2015, Sychev moved to FC Okzhetpes on a season-long loan deal.[10]
Pyunik
After over a year away from football, Sychev signed for FC Pyunik on 31 August 2019.[11] On 6 December 2019, he left Pyunik by mutual consent having failed to make a first team appearance for the club.[12] On 10 December 2019, he announced his retirement from playing.[13]
International career
Sychev was selected to play for the Russian national team at the 2002 FIFA World Cup, where he became the youngest player to appear for the Soviet Union or Russia at 18 years and 222 days. In the event, he scored a goal and set up other three in an otherwise disappointing Russian campaign. This goal made him the fourth youngest goalscorer in the FIFA World Cup.
Sychev was called up to Russia's squad for UEFA Euro 2008 in Austria and Switzerland. Despite playing as a striker at Lokomotiv Moscow, during Guus Hiddink's stint with the Russian national team, he was used as a midfielder.[14] He won his last cap in 2010.[15]
Post-playing career
On 30 January 2024, Sychev was appointed president of his hometown club Irtysh Omsk in the third-tier Russian Second League.[16]
Television
He appeared in the seventh season of ice show contest Ice Age.
Personal life
Besides football, Sychev is a fan of ice hockey and his hometown team Avangard Omsk.[17] He also likes tennis and billiards.[18] Outside of sports, he plays the guitar and was seen rapping at the MTV Russia Music Awards ceremony in Moscow with national teammate Diniyar Bilyaletdinov.[19]
Aside from his native Russian, Sychev also speaks English, French, and plans to learn more.[18]
In 2007, Sychev received a degree from the Russian State University of Physical Education, Sport, Youth and Tourism.[20]
Sychev was in Danila Kozlovsky's directorial debut Coach which was released in 2018. Sychev portrayed Dodin, the player who scored the winning goal for his team.
