Andriy Anatoliyovych Anishchenko (Ukrainian: Андрій Анатолійович Аніщенко; born 16 April 1975) is a Ukrainian football coach and a former player.

Career

A native of Kharkiv, Anishchenko started his career at Olimpik Kharkiv, which competed in the Transitional League (which existed until 1995). Later, he briefly played for Tavria Kherson and Transmash Mogilev (in Belarus). In 1994, he joined Artania Ochakiv, a third-tier club, where he became a regular in the club's first team. In 1995 and 1996, Anishchenko played in the Russian Federation. In 1996, he returned to Kharkiv, where he played for a couple of Kharkiv clubs, including the region's main club, Metalist Kharkiv. In 1998, Anishchenko joined Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih, for which he played most of the matches in his professional career, all in the Ukrainian top tier. During that time, for a couple of seasons, Kryvbas was among the top three clubs in Ukraine. In 2003, he once again returned to Kharkiv, where he played for the local lower-tier clubs and eventually retired in 2008.

After his retirement, Anishchenko became a coach on the Metalist coaching staff. Since 2011, he has headed the Metalist coaching staff of the club's reserve squad. In 2019, he was placed in charge of the Metalist football academy. In 2023, Anishchenko became the head coach of Metalist.
