Zenit St. Petersburg football club has enjoyed various successes in the past twenty years, achieving international glories as well as national victories. 2010 to Present Day 2000 to 2010 In the first decade of the new cen- tury, Zenit went from strength to strength. Third and second place finishes in the Russian Premier League in 2001 and 2003 respec- tively were followed by the club’s first championship victory, win- ning the league in 2006. In 2008 Zenit won the UEFA Cup after beat- ing Glasgow Rangers two goals to nil in the final. In the 2010 season Zenit took home its second Rus- sian Cup. Newly signed manager Luciano Spalletti took Zenit to achieve a third Russian Cup later in 2010, fol- lowed by a record 21-match unde- feated run in the Russian Premier League and a title gained with two matches to spare. Zenit took a fourth Russian Cup in 2016 before moving to a brand-new stadium, Stadium St. Petersburg. This stadium featured in the 2018 World Cup and has been rated on of the greatest stadiums in Europe. Victor Olerskiy
