Sergei Vadimovich Gorlukovich (Russian: Серге́й Вадимович Горлукович; born 18 November 1961) is a football manager and former player who played as a defender. At the international level, he represented both the Soviet Union and the Russia national teams.

Club career

In the final years of the Soviet Union, transfer regulations were relaxed, allowing Gorlukovich to move to West Germany during the winter of the 1989–90 season. He joined Borussia Dortmund as his first club in the Bundesliga.

International career

In international football, Gorlukovich played at the 1990 FIFA World Cup, 1994 FIFA World Cup, and UEFA Euro 1996. He made his debut for the Soviet Union on 19 October 1988 in a 1990 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Austria. He scored his only international goal in a friendly match against Syria on 21 November 1988.

Gorlukovich is also known for a controversial incident in a 1990 friendly against the Netherlands in Kiev, where his tackle resulted in a serious injury to Marcel Peeper, effectively ending the Dutch player's international career.
