He was captain of the national team and won the 2012–2013 European Cup, the 2007–2008 UEFA Cup and the 2007–2008 UEFA Super Cup.
He, once hailed as the iron waist of Eastern Europe, has been quite brilliant throughout his career.
Today, as the assistant coach of the Russian Super League Zenit club, he has been deprived of all the records and all the honors of serving the country by the national football association.
He is the former Ukrainian back Tymoshchuk, 42 years old.
Later on March 9, Beijing time, the Ethics and Fair Play Committee of the Ukrainian Football Association announced that Tymoschuk would be removed from the official register of the Ukrainian national team (4 goals in 144 appearances), and stripped him of all titles won by the Ukrainian Championship, Ukraine Cup, Ukrainian Super Cup, stripped the Ukrainian Football Association of all national awards and honorary titles applied for him, and stripped the Ukrainian Football Association of the UEFA professional coach license to him.
As for the reason for the deprivation, the Ukrainian Football Federation said that it was because Tymoszchuk had not terminated his cooperation with Zenit, an act that damaged the image of Ukrainian football and violated the ukrainian Football Association's code of ethics and fair play rules.
A full 12 hours have passed since the official penalty of the Ukrainian Football Federation, and Tymoschuk has still not responded.
Born in 1979, Timoszchuk became famous at a young age and debuted at the domestic giant Donetsk Miner, at the age of 23, he was awarded the Ukrainian Footballer of the Year award.
In the summer of 2006, after a decade of minering career, Timoszchuk joined the Russian Super League powerhouse Zenit St. Petersburg, almost qualified for any position in the midfield, Timoschuk's sweeping ability is super strong, and soon he became the backbone of Zenit's defense. He also won the UEFA Cup and the UEFA Super Cup with the team.
With his outstanding performances in Europe, Timoszchuk won the favor of many giants, and in the 2009 winter window, Timoschuk landed in the Bundesliga and became a member of Bayern Munich.
Unfortunately, Tymoschuk was Klinsmann's main slow, and after the Departure of the Golden Bomber, his appearance was constantly downward, Van Gaal did not reuse him, and by the time of Heynckes, Tymoschuk was still difficult to find a position.
At Bayern, Schweinsteiger, Harvey Martinez and Gustavo all lined up in front of Timoschuk. Although he won the Bundesliga championship, the German Cup and the Champions League with the team, Timoschuk was still unhappy more often.
In June 2013, at the age of 34, Timoschuk received an olive branch from Zenit st. Petersburg, and was reused again in the twilight of his career, and Timoschuk was grateful.
After retiring from the united era, four-time Ukrainian footballer Timoshchuk transformed into a coach, and today, he still works as an assistant coach in the Russian Premier League Zenit, without terminating his contract with the club.
