Double looming
"I am proud to wear the blue and white of Dynamo," said Nesmachniy. "I will do my best to help my team in the future." A product of the Simferopol football school, the 28-year-old Nesmachniy has won four titles and five Ukrainian Cups since joining Dynamo during the 1997/98 campaign. In addition to his 172 Premier League appearances, he has been capped 61 times by Ukraine and was a member of the squad that reached the 2006 FIFA World Cup quarter-finals. Dynamo sit six points clear at the top of the Premier League with two games remaining, having already beaten FC Shakhtar Donetsk 2-1 in the Ukrainian Cup final. If crowned champions, they will enter the third qualifying round of next season's UEFA Champions League.
