Aktobe, which plays in the Kazakhstan championship, officially announced the transfer of the 33-year-old football player: “Welcome, Ivan! Let’s conquer the heights together!”
The parties decided not to disclose any details of the agreement, including the term of the contract. Ivan’s last club was the German Bochum, which he left in July 2025 as a free agent.
The head coach of “Aktobe” is a well-known specialist in Ukraine, Nikolai Kostov, who led “Metalurg” from Donetsk, “Tavria” from Simferopol and “Karpaty” from Lviv.
At the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the Russian army, a scandal arose due to the position of the football player, who continued to play for Dynamo Moscow and even participated in the team’s corporate parties.
