Nikita Yevgenyevich Andreev (Russian: Никита Евгеньевич Андреев; born 22 September 1988) is a Russian football coach and a former striker. He is the manager of Estonian club Nõmme Kalju.
Club career
Early career
Andreev began playing football for his hometown PSK (Sports School Paemurru) in 1995 and FC Narva in 2002 -2005, before leaving for Ajax Lasnamäe in early 2005. He scored 29 goals in 32 league appearances in his debut Esiliiga season, becoming the league's top-scorer by an incredible 10 goal margin. After a positive end to the season in which Ajax Lasnamäe finished third, they won the play-off against Kuressaare over two legs, and were promoted to the Meistriliiga. However, promotion was not enough for Andreev, and a transfer to local rivals Levadia Tallinn soon followed in the 2005 close season.[2]
Levadia Tallinn
2006 season
After his transfer from Ajax Lasnamäe, Andreev played 5 games during Levadia's UEFA Cup run, knocking out Finnish side Haka and Dutch club FC Twente,[3] before falling to Newcastle United in the first round.[4][5] Andreev's only goal during the run was the opening goal in the first leg of Levadia's second qualifying round tie against FC Twente on 10 August 2006.[6]
He finished his debut season for Levadia with 17 goals in 27 league games.[7]
2007 season
He played two games for CSKA Moscow at the 2007 CIS Cup while on trial at the club, however he failed to convince head coach Valery Gazzaev to offer him a permanent contract, and he returned to Levadia.[8] Andreev finished the 2007 season with 13 goals in 19 league appearances.[9]
2008 season
He played both games of the 2008–09 UEFA Champions League first qualifying round for Levadia Tallinn, though they failed to beat Irish team Drogheda United over two legs, losing 3–1 on aggregate.[10] In the 2008 season, Andreev managed his best ever Meistriliiga goal tally, scoring 22 goals in 30 appearances and finishing as second-top scorer.[11]
2009 season
Andreev scored 17 league goals in 17 appearances for Levadia in the 2009 season, before transferring to Tercera División club Almería B in August 2009.[12]
Almería B
After transferring from Levadia during the 2009–10 La Liga pre-season,[13] Andreev was given the number 19 jersey for his new club.[14]
In 2011–12, after the new signings for Almería B, Andreev was moved back to "juvenil" team.[15]
In the end of 2011, his contract with Almería was rescinded.
FC Tyumen
In 2012, he signed a contract with Russian Second Division club FC Tyumen. Andreev would later make a handful of Russian National Football League appearances with FC Sokol Saratov and FC Tambov.
Intercity
In January 2020, he returned to Spain, joining Tercera División club Intercity.[16]
International career
After persistently turning down offers to play for the Estonian football team,[17] Andreev represented the Russian under-19 team at the 2007 UEFA Under-19 Championship in Austria, though they failed to win a match,[18] and crashed out of the tournament in the group stages.[19][20]
Personal life
Andreev stated in an interview with UEFA.com in July 2009 that he is a patriotic Russian, that he dreams of playing in the Russian league and is a Zenit fan. He also spoke of his commitment to football, stating "I love playing football, no matter where; in the yard, on the beach. I have not lost my desire – it has become even stronger."[17]
