Dmitri Leonidovich Radchenko (Russian: Дмитрий Леонидович Радченко; born 2 December 1970 in Leningrad) is a Russian retired footballer who played as a striker. He works as a youth coach with FC Zenit Saint Petersburg.

During his professional career, he played in four different countries, namely in La Liga.

Football career

Radchenko started his professional career in his hometown, moving in 1991 to FC Spartak Moscow, and helping the capital side to the first two editions of the Russian Premier League. He also scored twice in Spartak's famous 3–1 win away to Real Madrid in the quarter-finals of the 1990-91 European Cup.

In 1993–94, he signed with Racing Santander in Spain, alongside teammate Dmitri Popov, and experienced arguably the best seasons in his career, notably scoring in a 5–0 home routing of FC Barcelona in his second year.

A move to rising Deportivo de La Coruña followed, but Radchenko failed to establish in the starting XI, although heavily featured. The next three seasons combined, he only netted once, with Rayo Vallecano, CP Mérida (both relegated from La Liga) and SD Compostela (Segunda División – where he shared teams again with Popov).

After relative success with Jubilo Iwata and HNK Hajduk Split, Radchenko finished his career in 2008, in the lower leagues of Spain (with some periods of inactivity in between). He played for Russia at the 1994 FIFA World Cup, where he scored a goal against Cameroon (6–1, with the remaining five courtesy of Oleg Salenko).[2]
