Скончался экс-футболист "Динамо", который стал легендой другого киевского клуба.

On Wednesday, January 1, the well-known Ukrainian football player and coach Viktor Nashtashevsky passed away. The day before, former midfielder of "Veres," Vladislav Semenchuk, died in the intensive care unit.

The death of Nashtashevsky was reported by the press service of Kyiv's "Dynamo" on their official website. Viktor was 67 years old.

"FC "Dynamo" (Kyiv) deeply mourns the passing of Viktor Nashtashevsky, who departed this life at the age of 67. The club expresses its heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of the deceased. Rest in peace, Viktor Viktorovich", — states the message.

Nashtashevsky, who played as a forward, began his football journey at a young age with the White-Blues, but he was unable to secure a position in the star-studded Kyiv team. Viktor also played for "Shakhtar," "Kolos" (Nikopol), "Kryvbas," and the Kyiv SKA, where he became a legend. While with SKA, Viktor was the top scorer in the Second League of the USSR and even set a record (41 goals in a season).

After concluding his playing career, Viktor tried his hand at coaching in Uzbekistan. Since the early 2010s, Nashtashevsky dedicated himself to scouting young talents for the "Dynamo" Academy.

It is worth noting that in 2024, Mikhail Fomenko, a former player of "Dynamo" and ex-coach of the Ukrainian national football team, also passed away. In July 2023, he reported that he was undergoing treatment for cancer.
