Oleh Venhlinskyi (Ukrainian: Олег Миколайович Венглінський, born 21 March 1978) is a Ukrainian former professional footballer who played as a forward.
Club career
Oleh Venhlinskyi began his career with the Ukrainian powerhouse Dynamo Kyiv, but made a name for himself after moving to Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk. He spent a long stint in the Dynamo's second team, but after transferring to Dnipropetrovsk he became a favorite scoring a couple of impressive and decisive goals in Ukrainian Premier League and UEFA Cup for Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk.
In 2003, he was promised by experts an overwhelming career after earning the Ukrainian Footballer of the Year award. However, Venhlynskyi is renowned for his numerous injuries that have hampered his career at certain points in his life. In 2005, he left Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk for AEK Athens in Greece, but was unable to solidify a first-place spot at the club. After a full-season with AEK Athens, Oleh returned to Ukraine to sign contract with Chornomorets Odesa for three years. In 2009, he left as his contract expired.[1]
International career
Venhlinskyi played his first international game in a friendly game on 15 July 1998 against Poland at home.
