In the early 1990s, Andrei Kanchelskis was a beloved hero at Old Trafford. His time as a winger for Manchester United was iconic, and he went on to have an impressive career with other top teams like Everton, Rangers, and Fiorentina.
However, the 55-year-old recently made headlines for a different reason. On social media, Kanchelskis shared a photo of himself with a painful-looking black eye. It was the result of an alleged attack that occurred in a Moscow bar during the Euro 2024 final on Sunday.
According to reports, Kanchelskis was watching the match between England and Spain when an argument broke out with another person in the bar. Things quickly turned physical and Kanchelskis ended up needing first aid from the bar staff.
In an interview with a Russian outlet, Kanchelskis clarified that the conflict was not related to the football match, but rather a personal matter. He also mentioned that he had filed a statement with the police and was waiting for a decision on the matter.
Despite the incident, Kanchelskis showed resilience by sharing the photo of his injuries on social media. He also took the opportunity to reflect on his successful career, which included winning two Premier League titles, the FA Cup, League Cup, and European Super Cup with Manchester United from 1991-94.
After leaving United, Kanchelskis had stints with Everton and Fiorentina before joining Rangers. He continued to add to his trophy collection, winning two Scottish League titles, two Scottish Cups, and two Scottish League Cups with the Scottish club.
While Kanchelskis may have retired from playing, he did not stay away from the football world for long. He went into management, but his time as a coach has not been as successful as his playing days. He recently left his position at Kyrgyz side Muras United.
