Anatoliy Konkov (Ukrainian: Анатолій Дмитрович Коньков; 19 September 1949 – 4 October 2024) was a Soviet football player from Ukraine and Soviet and later Ukrainian football manager. Native of Eastern Ukraine, he made a football career in Dynamo Kyiv of 1970s. He was honored as the Merited Master of Sports of the USSR (1982).[1] Konkov served as the President of the Football Federation of Ukraine in September 2012.[1]

Career

A native of Krasnyi Luch, Luhansk Oblast, in the late 1950s, Konkov began his football career in Kramatorsk, Donetsk Oblast for local Avanhard, and his first coach was Yuriy Nesterenko. When Konkov was about 6–7 years of old, his father was hired by the Novokramatorsk Machinebuilding Factory and the family moved to Kramatorsk.[2] At 8, Konkov joined the Avanhard preparation group that existed along with the team of masters. Konkov made his debut at the professional level while playing for the Avanhard football team of masters in the late 1960s. At that time, Avanhard played in the USSR Championship Class B (tier 3).

In late 1968, Konkov made it to the top performer of the region Shakhtar Donetsk, where he played until 1974. To Shakhtar, Konkov was invited by Oleg Oshenkov and escorted by Ivan Babushko. Anatoliy Konkov made his first appearance for Shakhtar on 3 November 1968, while visiting Kairat Almaty in the Class A match (top tier). For the first couple of seasons in Shakhtar, Konkov was playing for the reserves as well as the first team.

In 1974, he moved to Dynamo Kyiv, with which he won several European honors. His transfer was coordinated personally by the First Secretary Volodymyr Shcherbytskyi.[3]

During his playing career, Konkov played in defense as a stopper. He won four Soviet championships, was a holder of the Soviet Cup, UEFA Supercup, and UEFA Cup Winners' Cup 1974-75.[1] He was a vice-champion of Europe '72, and received an Olympic bronze medal in 1976.

In 1979 Konkov played couple of games for Ukraine at the Spartakiad of the Peoples of the USSR.[4]

After retiring as a player, Konkov became a coach, coaching clubs of the Soviet Union, Ukraine, and Azerbaijan. On 2 September 2012, he was elected the President of the Football Federation of Ukraine,[1] becoming the second president after Viktor Bannikov, who had a professional player career.
