Oleksandr Yevhenovych Kucherenko (Ukrainian: Олександр Євгенович Кучеренко; Romanian: Alexandru Cucerenco; born 1 October 1991) is a professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Ukrainian Premier League club Veres Rivne.[1] Born in Ukraine, he has represented Moldova at youth level.

Career

[edit]

Kucherenko is the product of his native Slavkhlib Slovyansk. He played for Avanhard Kramatorsk, appearing in Ukrainian Second League matches. During the 2011–2012 transfer winter window he moved to play in Moldova until the end of 2014.

Controversy

[edit]

In 2012 Kucherenko was signed for FC Nistru Otaci, claiming that he was a citizen of Moldova born in 1994. The next year, he was called up to play for the Moldova under-19 team, making one appearance. Previously, however, he had presented himself as a Ukrainian citizen born in 1991. For these reasons, in the end of 2014 by the Football Federation of Moldova launched an investigation, but the findings were inconclusive.[2]
