Andriy Viktorovych Voronin (Ukrainian: Андрій Вікторович Воронін, born 21 July 1979) is a Ukrainian professional football manager and a former player.
Voronin spent five full seasons in the Bundesliga of Germany, and last played as a striker or attacking midfielder for Dynamo Moscow.
His previous professional clubs include Borussia Mönchengladbach, Mainz 05, 1. FC Köln, Bayer Leverkusen, Liverpool, Hertha BSC and Dynamo Moscow. In the 2002–03 season, Voronin became top goalscorer in the 2. Bundesliga, which earned him a transfer to the Bundesliga club 1. FC Köln.
At international level, Voronin played 74 matches for Ukraine from his debut in 2002. He was in their squad for the 2006 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2012, after which he retired from international football.
Voronin was born in Odesa on 21 July 1979, to a Ukrainian Jewish mother and a Russian father. Both of his grandfathers fought against the Nazis in the Second World War. Voronin is married to his wife Yulia and they have three children together; Maria, Andriy Jr. and Sonja. He is a Ukrainian Orthodox Christian.
While at Mainz, Voronin was called up initially to Ukraine's Under-21 team and in January 2002 to the national team, at the age of 22. He made his international debut in a 4–1 friendly defeat to Romania in March 2002. However, he was dropped after that match, with coach Leonid Buriak explaining, "I've been to Germany twice to watch him and made a conclusion that Andriy cannot compete with Shevchenko, Rebrov, and Vorobei as a forward. He can play in midfield as well, but he still has to improve some aspects of his game. Anyway, we count on Voronin, especially considering his young age."
Voronin was ultimately recalled to the national side, scoring his first international goal in a 2–0 Euro 2004 qualifying win over Greece in September 2002 and a second one in a 2–2 draw against Spain in March 2003.
He was in the Ukrainian squad for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, in which Ukraine got to the quarter-finals, beaten by the eventual winners, Italy.
played in the finals of Cyprus International Football Tournaments 2009, where Ukraine beat Serbia(1:0)
On 14 October 2020 he returned to Dynamo Moscow as an assistant manager to Sandro Schwarz. He left the club on 1 March 2022 after 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine began, stating "I do not see any possibility of staying in a country (Russia) whose army destroys our (Ukrainian) cities & fires at civilians.”
