Shevchenko will be remembered as one of the greatest strikers Europe has ever seen. From hometown glory in Ukraine, to European and world success as a Ballon d’Or winner.
Andriy Shevchenko is a legendary Ukrainian football star and a former manager of the national side.
Shevchenko began to make a name for himself at Ukrainian side Dynamo Kyiv before his 1999 transfer to AC Milan. In Italy, he wrote his name into Milan history books, helping them win the 2002/03 UEFA Champions League title and 2003/04 Scudetto.
Shevchenko signed for Chelsea in 2006 for a record Premier League transfer fee of £30million. With the Blues, he won the 2006/07 League Cup. However, he struggled to replicate his goalscoring form from AC Milan.
In November 2021, he returned to management after taking the vacant position at Serie A's Genoa, but he was sacked after two months following a miserable run of just one win and seven defeats in 11 games.
