'''Football Club Zenit''' ({{lang-ru|link=no|Футбольный клуб «Зенит»}} {{IPA-ru|fʊdˈbolʲnɨj ˈkɫup zʲɪˈnʲit|}}), also known as '''Zenit Saint Petersburg''' or simply '''Zenit''', is a Russian professional [[association football|football]] club based in   [[Saint Petersburg]]. Founded in 1925 (or in 1914, according to some Russian sources), the club plays in the [[Russian Premier League]]. Zenit are [[2022–23 Russian Premier League|the reigning champions]] of the Russian Premier League. Previously they won the [[2007 Russian Premier League|2007]], [[2010 Russian Premier League|2010]], [[2011–12 Russian Premier League|2011–12]], [[2014–15 Russian Premier League|2014–15]], [[2018–19 Russian Premier League|2018–19]], [[2019–20 Russian Premier League|2019–20]], [[2020–21 Russian Premier League|2020–21]] and the [[2021–22 Russian Premier League|2021–22]] seasons of the Russian Premier League, as well as the [[2007–08 UEFA Cup]] and the [[2008 UEFA Super Cup]]. The club is owned and sponsored by the Russian state-owned energy giant [[Gazprom]]. The team play its home matches at the [[Krestovsky Stadium|Gazprom Arena]]. In March 2022, the club was expelled from all European and international club competitions by [[FIFA]] and the [[UEFA]] due to the [[Russian invasion of Ukraine]].<ref name="auto1">{{Cite web|url=https://www.sportingnews.com/us/soccer/news/russia-ban-uefa-cups-europa-league-spartak-moscow-suspension/zgkvtkjezdcbpk8df0p074ce|title=Russian football clubs banned from UEFA cups, Spartak Moscow ousted from Europa League after suspension|website=www.sportingnews.com}}</ref> In addition, the [[European Club Association]] suspended the team.<ref name="auto">{{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/60568139|title=Which sports have banned Russian athletes?| work=BBC Sport }}</ref>

==History==

===Before Zenit===
Zenit's history is tightly connected with the political history of [[Saint Petersburg]], Russia (also called "Petrograd" and "Leningrad" at times in its history). In 1897, the first officially-recorded football match in Russia was held in Saint Petersburg on [[Vasilievsky Island]], an unofficial game between the local English team "Ostrov" and the local Russian team "Petrograd," which the English team won, 6–0. The players of those local teams were amateurs and loosely associated with each other.{{citation needed|date=March 2022}}

===Formation of Zenit===
The original Zenit team stemmed from several football teams, which changed names and owners many times during the [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] era after the [[Revolution of 1917]], as powerful political forces manipulated the careers of individual players as well as the fate of the whole team. The club was renamed several times and its owners and leaders were under political pressure for many decades. The origins of Zenit date back to the beginning of the 20th century to several predecessor teams in [[Saint Petersburg]] that were playing locally. The oldest documented predecessor of Zenit was the team "Murzinka," founded in 1914, which played in the ''Obukhovsky'' stadium from 1914 until 1924, when the team came to be known as "Bolshevik" (the new name for ''Obukhovsky'' industry and its stadium). The team and stadium survived the drama of [[World War I|World&nbsp;War&nbsp;I]], the [[Bolshevik]] revolution of 1917, and the [[Russian Civil War]] of 1918 to 1922.{{citation needed|date=March 2022}}

In 1925, another predecessor team of Zenit was formed, of workers from the ''[[Leningradsky Metallichesky Zavod]]'' (Leningrad Metal Plant); they were called the "Stalinets" in the 1930s. (''Stalinets'' translates literally to English as "Stalinist"; however, in Russian, the name is a play on words as ''stal'' means "steel".) Historians documented that both predecessor teams of Zenit were playing independently until their official merger at the end of 1939. The Stalinets were not the same team named Zenit that took part in the 1938 USSR championship. The current name of FC Zenit was registered in 1936 (as Bolshevik became part of the [[Zenit (sports society)|Zenit sports society]] and was renamed), three years before the Stalinets merged with it. The name ''Zenit'' means "[[Zenith]]".{{citation needed|date=March 2022}}

In 1939, during the rule of [[Joseph Stalin]], Leningradsky Metallichesky Zavod became part of the military industry and its sports teams, players, and managers were transferred to the Zenit sports society. FC Zenit was ordered to take in members of the "Stalinets" metallurgical workers' team after the end of the 1939 season.{{citation needed|date=March 2022}}

===Zenit in the Soviet League===
Zenit won their first honours in 1944, claiming the war-time USSR Cup after defeating [[PFC CSKA Moscow|CSKA Moscow]] in the well-attended final. The club was always adored in Leningrad,{{Citation needed|date=September 2010}} but was not able to make much of a significant impact in the Soviet League. In 1967, Zenit finished last but were saved from relegation because the Soviet leadership decided it would not be prudent to relegate a Leningrad team during the 50th anniversary of the [[Russian Revolution of 1917|October Revolution]], which occurred in the city. Composer [[Dmitry Shostakovich]] and film star [[Kirill Lavrov]] were well known as ardent supporters of Zenit, a passion that is reflected in their attendance of many games.{{Citation needed|date=September 2010}} Zenit won the bronze medal in 1980, also reaching the Soviet Cup Final and winning the Soviet League title in 1984. In 1985, Zenit beat the Soviet Cup holder in the Soviet Super Cup (also called the Season Cup).{{citation needed|date=March 2022}}

===Zenit in the Russian League===
The [[LOMO]] optical plant took up the ownership of the team after the war.{{Vague|date=September 2010}} In 1990, FC Zenit were re-registered as an independent city-owned professional club. In 1992, After being relegated in the first year of the Russian League,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Russian Premier Liga |url=https://eng.premierliga.ru/about-rpl/championat/ |access-date=2023-06-02 |website=eng.premierliga.ru |language=ru}}</ref> Zenit returned to the top flight in 1996 and has been decent since. They claimed the 1999 [[Russian Cup (football)|Russian Cup]], finished third in the League in 2001, made the Cup final in 2002, became the runners-up in the [[Russian Premier League|Premier League]] and won the [[Russian Premier League Cup]] in 2003.{{citation needed|date=March 2022}}

===Gazprom era===
In December 2005, [[Gazprom]] took a controlling stake in the club.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sptimes.ru/index.php?action_id=2&story_id=16457 |title=Gazprom Buys Zenit |publisher=The St. Petersburg Times |date=23 December 2005 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140407231452/http://www.sptimes.ru/index.php?action_id=2&story_id=16457 |archive-date=7 April 2014 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The deal was announced by [[Valentina Matviyenko]], the Saint Petersburg governor. Gazprom bought the majority of the club.{{citation needed|date=March 2022}}

====Under Advocaat====
[[File:Arshavin 2008.jpg|thumbnail|[[Andrey Arshavin]], one of the most successful players in Zenit history]]
Although Zenit reached the quarter-finals of the [[2005–06 UEFA Cup|UEFA Cup]] in 2006, a mediocre start to the league season led to the summer replacement of coach [[Vlastimil Petržela]]. In July 2006, [[Dick Advocaat]]<ref name="uefa-1">{{Cite news |date=19 January 2007 |url=http://www.uefa.com/magazine/news/kind=134217728/newsid=497842.html |title=Gazprom fuels Zenit dream |publisher=uefa.com |access-date=8 August 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070224134326/http://www.uefa.com/magazine/news/kind%3D134217728/newsid%3D497842.html |archive-date=24 February 2007 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }}</ref> took over as Zenit's manager. Advocaat worked together with his assistant manager, former Netherlands national youth team coach [[Cor Pot]]. Zenit won the 2007 [[Russian Premier League]]—their best league achievement since winning the USSR Championship in 1984—allowing them to compete in the [[2008–09 UEFA Champions League group stage|group stage]] of the [[2008–09 UEFA Champions League]].{{citation needed|date=March 2022}}

In 2008, Zenit won the [[Russian Super Cup]] and reached the quarter-final of the [[2007–08 UEFA Cup|UEFA Cup]] for the second time in their history. In the first leg of the quarter-final away game against German side [[Bayer 04 Leverkusen|Bayer Leverkusen]], the team achieved a 4–1 victory. They qualified for the semi-finals of the competition for the first time in their history, despite a 1–0 home loss to Leverkusen in the second leg, and were drawn to play further German opposition in the semi-final, [[FC Bayern Munich|Bayern Munich]], considered the top team remaining.<ref>{{cite news |title=Zenit stuns Bayern in UEFA Cup semi, 4–0 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/02/sports/02iht-SOCCER.1.12518632.html?_r=0 |work=The New York Times| date=2 May 2008 }}</ref> A battling performance in the first leg of the semi-final earned Zenit a 1–1 draw away against Bayern Munich. In the second leg at home, Zenit won 4–0, defeating Bayern 5–1 on aggregate and going through to the UEFA Cup Final for the first time in club history, where they met [[Scottish Premier League|Scottish]] side [[Rangers F.C.|Rangers]] at the [[City of Manchester Stadium]] in [[Manchester]] on 14 May. Zenit won 2–0, with goals from [[Igor Denisov]] in the 72nd minute and [[Konstantin Zyryanov]] in stoppage time, to lift the club's first-ever [[UEFA Europa League|UEFA Cup]]. [[Andrey Arshavin]] was named [[man of the match]].<ref>{{cite news |first=Eugene |last=Ravdin |title=Proud Arshavin spent by star turn |url=http://www.uefa.com/competitions/uefacup/news/kind=1/newsid=696278.html |work=uefa.com |publisher=Union of European Football Associations |date=14 May 2008 |access-date=16 May 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080516121410/http://www.uefa.com/competitions/uefacup/news/kind%3D1/newsid%3D696278.html |archive-date=16 May 2008 |url-status=live |df=dmy-all }}</ref>

On 29 August 2008, at the [[Stade Louis II]] in [[Monaco]], Zenit then defeated [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]] 2–1 in the [[2008 UEFA Super Cup]], becoming the first Russian side to win the trophy. [[Pavel Pogrebnyak]] scored the first goal and [[Danny (footballer)|Danny]] scored the second, the latter being named man of the match in his debut for Zenit.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.com/uefasupercup/history/season=2008/index.html|title=2008: Zenit claim Russian first |publisher=[[uefa.com]] }}</ref>

In the 2008–09 Champions League group stage, Zenit was grouped with [[Real Madrid C.F.|Real Madrid]], [[Juventus F.C.|Juventus]] and [[FC BATE Borisov|BATE Borisov]] in Group H, which by some was marked as the "[[group of death]]." Zenit ultimately finished in third place in the group, behind Juventus and Real Madrid, and was thus unable to progress to the knockout phase of the competition. This position, however, was good enough to earn the club a place in the [[2008–09 UEFA Cup]] last 32, where the team faced [[VfB Stuttgart]] for a place in the last 16 of the competition. After defeating Stuttgart on away goals, Zenit went on to lose 2–1 over two legs against Italian club [[Udinese Calcio|Udinese]].{{citation needed|date=March 2022}}

====Under Spalletti====
[[File:Petrovsky Stadium in Saint Petersburg, Russia. View at the sectors during the match Zenit SPb-Bayern Munchen.JPG|thumb|left|Zenit against [[FC Bayern Munich|Bayern Munich]] in 2011]]

[[Luciano Spalletti]] signed a contract with Zenit in December 2009, with Italian coaches Daniele Baldini, Marco Domenichini and Alberto Bartali also joining the Russian club. The Board of Zenit mandated him to return the Russian Premier League title to Zenit, win the [[Russian Cup (football)|Russian Cup]] and progress from the group stage of the [[UEFA Champions League|Champions League]] in his first year.{{citation needed|date=March 2022}}

Zenit won the Russian Cup on 16 May 2010 after beating [[FC Sibir Novosibirsk|Sibir Novosibirsk]] in the final (previously beating [[Volga Tver]] in the quarter-finals and [[FC Amkar Perm|Amkar Perm]] in the semi-finals). After 16 games in the 2010 Premier League, with 12 wins and four draws, Zenit claimed 40 points, setting a new Russian Premier League record for most points won at that stage of the campaign.{{citation needed|date=March 2022}}

[[File:Hulk 2012 bigger.jpg|thumb|160px|[[Hulk (footballer)|Hulk]]]]
On 25 August 2010, Zenit lost its first game under Spalletti to French side [[AJ Auxerre|Auxerre]] and failed to advance to the [[2010–11 UEFA Champions League|Champions League]] [[2010–11 UEFA Champions League group stage|group stage]], instead participating in the [[2010–11 UEFA Europa League|Europa League]]. On 3 October, Zenit beat [[Spartak Nalchik]] to set another Russian Premier League record for most consecutive games going undefeated, with 21 games since the start of the league season. On 27 October, however, Zenit suffered its first defeat of the season at the hands of rival club [[FC Spartak Moscow|Spartak Moscow]], just seven games short of finishing the championship undefeated. On 14 November, Zenit defeated [[FC Rostov|Rostov]] and two games prior to the end of the season won the championship title, the first in Spalletti's managerial career.{{citation needed|date=March 2022}}

Zenit progressed through the knockout stage of the [[2010–11 UEFA Europa League|2010–11 Europa League]] in first place, then beating Swiss side [[BSC Young Boys|Young Boys]] in the Round of 16. On 6 March 2011, Zenit won against CSKA Moscow in the Russian Super Cup, the third Russian trophy won under Spalletti. On 17 March, however, Zenit were knocked out of the Europa League, losing to Dutch team [[FC Twente|Twente]] 2–3 on aggregate in the quarter-finals.{{citation needed|date=March 2022}}

In the [[2011–12 UEFA Champions League|2011–12 Champions League]], Zenit began the [[2011–12 UEFA Champions League group stage|group stage]] drawn into Group G alongside Porto, [[FC Shakhtar Donetsk|Shakhtar Donetsk]] and [[APOEL FC|APOEL]]. On 6 December 2011, the team finished the group stage in second place and for the first time in club's history qualified for the spring knockout phase of Champions League. In the Round of 16, Zenit were drawn with Portuguese side [[S.L. Benfica|Benfica]], winning the first leg 3–2 at home through two goals from [[Roman Shirokov]] and one from Sergei Semak. In the second leg in [[Lisbon]], however, Zenit lost 2–0 and were thus eliminated from the competition.

In April 2012, Zenit won their second-straight Russian Championship after beating [[FC Dynamo Moscow|Dynamo Moscow]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/association=rus/news/newsid=1787404.html |title=The secrets of Zenit's third title success |publisher=[[uefa.com]] |date=28 April 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120515210605/http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/association%3Drus/news/newsid%3D1787404.html |archive-date=15 May 2012 |df=dmy }}</ref>

====Under Villas-Boas====
After a series of disappointing results in both the Champions League and the Premier League, Spalletti was fired on 11 March 2014.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://themoscownews.com/sports/20140311/192384970/Zenit-St-Petersburg-fires-coach-Luciano-Spalletti.html |title=Zenit St. Petersburg fires coach Luciano Spalletti |work=The Moscow News |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140903175123/http://themoscownews.com/sports/20140311/192384970/Zenit-St-Petersburg-fires-coach-Luciano-Spalletti.html |archive-date=3 September 2014 |df=dmy }}</ref> A week later, the club announced they had negotiated a two-year deal with [[André Villas-Boas]], who himself had been released a few months prior after a disappointing stint as manager of English side [[Tottenham Hotspur F.C.|Tottenham Hotspur]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espnfc.com/russian-premier-league/story/1754816/andre-villas-boas-agrees-deal-to-become-zenit-st-petersburg-head-coach|title=Andre Villas-Boas agrees deal to become Zenit St Petersburg head coach - ESPN FC|work=ESPNFC.com| date=18 March 2014 }}</ref> In the [[2014–15 UEFA Europa League|2014–15 Europa League]], Zenit were eliminated in the quarter-finals by eventual champions [[Sevilla FC|Sevilla]]. In May 2015, Zenit won the Russian Championship, the first championship title under Villas-Boas and the team's fifth-ever on the eve of its 90th anniversary celebration. Zenit then defeated [[FC Lokomotiv Moscow|Lokomotiv Moscow]] in the [[2015 Russian Super Cup]] 1–1 (4–2 on penalties).{{citation needed|date=March 2022}}

Later in the 2015 calendar year, Villas-Boas said that he would be leaving the club after the [[2015–16 FC Zenit Saint Petersburg season|2015–16 season]]. In the [[2015–16 UEFA Champions League|2015–16 Champions League]], Zenit began the competition in the [[2015–16 UEFA Champions League group stage|group stage]]. They were drawn in Group H alongside [[Valencia CF|Valencia]], [[Olympique Lyonnais|Lyon]] and [[K.A.A. Gent|Gent]]. They ended the group stage with their best group stage finish ever, winning five out of six matches and emerging as group winners.  They were, however, eliminated from the competition in the Round of 16 by Portuguese side [[S.L. Benfica|Benfica]].{{citation needed|date=March 2022}}

On 24 May 2016 Villas-Boas left the club at the end of the season, with [[Mircea Lucescu]] appointed the new manager of Zenit.<ref>{{cite news |title=André Villas-Boas announces he is to quit as Zenit St Petersburg manager |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/sep/10/andre-villas-boas-announces-quit-zenit-st-petersburg-manager |website=The Guardian |agency=Associated Press |date=10 September 2015 |access-date=29 May 2016}}</ref><ref name="Lucescu Appointed">{{cite news |title=Mircea Lucescu takes charge at Zenit |url=http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/news/newsid=2367776.html |website=UEFA.com |publisher=Union of European Football Associations |date=24 May 2016 |access-date=29 May 2016}}</ref>

====Under Lucescu and Mancini====
In July 2016 Zenit won the Russian Super Cup after a 0–1 victory over CSKA Moscow.{{citation needed|date=March 2022}}

During the [[2016–17 Europa League]], Zenit began the [[2016–17 UEFA Europa League group stage|group stage]] drawn into Group D alongside [[Maccabi Tel Aviv F.C.|Maccabi Tel Aviv]], [[AZ Alkmaar]] and [[Dundalk F.C.|Dundalk]]. On 8 December 2016, the team finished the group stage in first place and qualified for the spring knockout phase of Europa League. In the round of 32, Zenit faced [[R.S.C. Anderlecht]] and was eliminated 3–3 on aggregate due to the away goals rule. In the league, Zenit's performances in the spring were disappointing and as such the club finished third and missed out on the Champions League for the second year in a row. Zenit was also eliminated in the round of 16 by [[FC Anzhi Makhachkala]] 0–4 on aggregate after an abysmal performance. The first (and last) season of Mircea Lucescu was a complete disappointment despite the expectations.{{citation needed|date=March 2022}}

On 1 June 2017 Zenit appointed [[Roberto Mancini]] as the new manager of the team.<ref>{{cite web|publisher=FC Zenit Saint Petersburg|url=http://fc-zenit.ru/news/2017-06-01-roberto-manchini-naznachen-glavnym-trenerom-zenita.htm|script-title=ru:Роберто Манчини назначен главным тренером «Зенита»|date=1 June 2017|language=ru}}</ref> On 13 May 2018, Mancini terminated his contract by mutual consent.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.football-italia.net/121290/official-mancini-leaves-zenit|title=Official: Mancini leaves Zenit|publisher=Football Italia|date=13 May 2018}}</ref>

===Reserve squad===
{{main|FC Zenit-2 Saint Petersburg}}
Zenit's reserve squad played professionally as '''Zenit-2''' ([[Russian Second League]] in 1993, [[Russian Second Division]] from 1998 to 2000) and '''Zenit-d''' ([[Russian Third League]] from 1994 to 1997). Another team that was founded as '''Lokomotiv-Zenit-2''' played as [[FC Zenit-2 Saint Petersburg (2001)|Zenit-2]] in the [[Russian Second Division]] from 2001 to 2008. By 2008, there was no relation between that team and FC Zenit. Another farm club called [[FC Smena-Zenit Saint Petersburg|FC Smena-Zenit]] debuted in the [[Russian Second Division]] in 2009, taking the spot of the former FC Zenit-2. FC Smena-Zenit was dissolved after the 2009 season because it did not fulfill Zenit's initial expectations. [[FC Zenit-2 Saint Petersburg|Zenit-2]] reentered professional football in the 2013–14 season in the [[Russian Professional Football League]].
