Playing career
editBefore playing professionally, in 1987–88 Skrypnyk participated in the reserve competitions of the Soviet Top League[2] for Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk playing some 46 games. In 1987 Skrypnyk also played one game for Dnipro in the Soviet Cup.[2]
In 1989 Skrypnyk signed with the prime Zaporizhzhia club Metalurh that played at the Soviet First League (tier 2) and for which he started his professional career.[2] His debut in the Soviet Top League (Vysshaya Liga), Skrypnyk made for FC Metalurh Zaporizhya (Metallurg) in 1991 along with the club's debut at the top level.[2][3] He continued to play for the Zaporizhzhia team after dissolution of the Soviet Union when the Metalurh Zaporizhya was admitted to the Vyshcha Liha (Ukrainian Top League) in 1992–1994.[2][3] In the mid 1990s Skrypnyk returned to his "home" club in Dnipro for couple of seasons.[2] In 1995–1996 he played for FC Dnipro when it was coached by Bernd Stange who later recommended Skrypnyk to Werder[5] that was coached by Hans-Jürgen Dörner.[6] Around that time he was also called up to the Ukraine national football team for which Skrypnyk debuted in 1994. In 1996 he was sold for 1.5 million DM[6] to the German side Werder Bremen[2] with which he stayed for about 22 years (1996–2018).[7][3][2] In 1999–2000 Skrypnyk was injured several times and even hospitalized, because of that he did not play neither for the club or the national team.[6] At the end of 2002–03 season Skrypnyk again sustained a major injury and recovered only by the winter intermission of the 2003–04.[6] After the 2003–04 season aged at 34, he decided to retire.[6]
Coaching career
editAfter retiring from playing career Skrypnyk stayed with Werder as a coach at the Werder's football academy.[5] His coaching UEFA license "A" Skrypnyk received initially in Kyiv and supposedly it had to be good across whole Europe.[3] But in Germany no one was acknowledging the license and he had to take the coaching courses again in Germany.[3] At first it was the category "B" license which allowed Skrypnyk to train children.[3] With time he received the top category license.[3]
Skrypnyk became head coach of Werder Bremen II from 18 June 2013 until 25 October 2014 when he took over the first team of Werder Bremen.[8][9] He finished with a record of 31 wins, seven draws, and nine losses for the reserve team.[10] He made his debut against Chemnitzer FC in the DFB-Pokal on 28 October 2014. He was sacked on 18 September 2016 along with assistant coach Torsten Frings.[11]
On 5 July 2018, he was appointed as the new manager of Latvian Higher League club Riga FC.[12] On 5 February 2019 it was announced, that Skripnik had left the club.[13]
On 10 June 2022 he was appointed as new manager of Vorskla Poltava.[14][15]
