Went on to have spells at Ukraine's Illychivets Mariupil (2007) and Russia's Luch-Energia Vladivostok (2008) before his most recent club stint, at Tavriya Simferopol in 2011/12. • Had two spells as Ukraine assistant coach (2003–06 and 2010–11), helping Oleh Blokhin guide the country to the 2006 FIFA World Cup quarter-finals.

  • 001-016 Introduction
    Introduction FC Barcelona celebrate victory at the Stade de France. The 2006 UEFA Champions League victors have no problems with the rulings on ‘locally-trained’ players introduced for the 2006/07 season. PHOTO: FOTO-NET Season 2006 – 2007 Contents Season President’s Message 3 2006 / 2007 1st Qualifying Round Results 4 2nd Qualifying Round Results 6 3rd Qualifying Round Results 8 Group Stage 10 Regulations 14 2 President’s Message The fifteenth season of UEFA Champions League football is a special one. A year ago, we were celebrating the 50th anniversary of the first-ever final in the old ‘European Cup’ and using that as a good excuse for some nostalgic reading of the history books. This season, the emphasis is well and truly on the future - the future of the game and the future of the people who play it. I’m referring to the new chapter in the regulations of this competition, where four places in each squad are earmarked for ‘locally-trained players’. You might not think that this is a major change. But, as time goes by, more places will be reserved for them and the 2006/07 campaign marks the first step in what I think is a very right direction. It was a subject we had discussed in great depth within our Executive Committee, within all sectors of the game and with people in political circles. And it is a decision which has my wholehearted support. Fortunately, I am by no means the only one who believes that talent needs to be developed and not just bought.

Draw in Leipzig 08 News from member associations 16 PHOTO: KOEPSEL/BONGARTS/GETTY IMAGES From oneEditorial anniversary to another Following on from its golden jubilee celebrations last year, UEFA is presently commemorating 50 years of European club competitions. As an oppor- tunity to pay tribute to the founders of our organisation and of its competitions, these celebrations recall the early days of UEFA and the launch of what were to become its most prestigious competitions: the European Champion Clubs’ Cup (UEFA Champions League) and the European Football Championship. 2005 also marks another anniver- sary, that of a ruling which shook European football: in December 1995, the Euro- pean Court of Justice issued its verdict in the Bosman case and put an end not only to the transfer system in place at that time, but also to the limitation on the number of foreign players, in the name of the free movement of workers within the European Union. The Bosman ruling is certainly not the cause of all the evils afflicting European football but it did away with safeguards that the game’s leaders had established quite consciously, not to raise football above EU legislation, but to preserve the special nature of the game and to prevent exploitation.
