Timeline
Aleksey Gennadyevich Smertin (Алексе́й Генна́дьевич Сме́ртин; born 1 May 1975) is a Russian football official and a former player.
He was a fairly versatile player and was able to play in defence as well as midfield.
He works in the Russian Football Union in two positions - "director of regional policies and international relations" and "anti-discrimination and anti-racism officer".
He played for clubs in Russia, France and England.
He was the captain of the Russian national team, and earned 55 caps from 1998 to 2006, representing the nation at the 2002 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2004.
Born in Barnaul, Russian SFSR, Smertin has previously played for Dinamo Barnaul, Zarya Leninsk-Kuznetsky, Uralan Elista, Lokomotiv Moscow, and French team Girondins Bordeaux before moving on to Chelsea.
Smertin made his debut for Russia in 1998 in a 1–0 defeat against Iceland; in the same match he received a red card.
He was capped 55 times for Russia, and was selected for the 2002 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2004.
Claudio Ranieri brought Smertin to Chelsea from Bordeaux in August 2003 for £3.45m, before loaning him out to Portsmouth for the 2003–04 season.
After some impressive performances at Fratton Park, most notably in Pompey's 1–0 victory over Manchester United, Smertin returned to London.
However, Ranieri had now been succeeded by José Mourinho, who had made his own midfield signing in compatriot Tiago Mendes, adding to a midfield that already boasted Frank Lampard, Claude Makélélé, Geremi, and Scott Parker.
He became the winner Cyprus International Football Tournament 2003
Smertin only played a bit-part role for the team in 2004–05 as Chelsea won the title, but made enough appearances to earn a medal (16 in total).
He did however score his first and only Chelsea goal this season, in the 3–1 Champions League win over Porto.
He was made captain in June 2004, and was succeeded in that role by Andrey Arshavin.
He was ultimately deemed surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge and was loaned out to Charlton Athletic for the 2005–06 season.
At Charlton, he was a starter and had some impressive performances.
In March 2006, he was transferred to Dynamo Moscow, for a fee of £1 million.
He started most of the opening games of the 2007–08 season but the arrival of fellow-midfielder Danny Murphy on transfer deadline day restricted his playing opportunities.
In addition, he suffered from several injury problems.
Smertin retired from professional football in 2008 after having his contract with Fulham terminated and discovering a new career in politics.
On 1 September 2008, after Smertin rejected a loan move to Cardiff City, he and Fulham cancelled his contract with immediate effect.
After Smertin's release from Dynamo Moscow, he returned to England, signing for Fulham on a two and a half year deal that would see him remain at the club until the summer of 2009.
In March 2009, he was elected as an MP in the Altai region of Russia.
In July 2015, Smertin was an assistant at the draw for 2018 World Cup qualification in St Petersburg.
On 21 February 2017, he was named Russian Football Union anti-racism and discrimination inspector ahead of the 2018 World Cup.
In October 2018, he was appointed director of regional policies and international relations of the Russian Football Union (while keeping his anti-racism position).
At the same time he left FC Dynamo Moscow advisor position he held up to that point.
Smertin is married to fellow Siberian Larisa, and also has a son.
After failing to find a new club after leaving Fulham, Smertin turned his hand to politics back home in Russia.
