Wife

Oleksandr Zinchenko is married to a Ukrainian journalist whose name is Vlada Shcheglova. On March 12, 2020, the couple tied the knot. On October 16, 2019, the player proposed to his girlfriend at Kyiv Olympic Stadium. After Ukraine’s 5-0 win against Serbia in June 2019, Zinchenko was seen kissing Shcheglova on the cheek, sparking rumors of a connection.

In 2020, Zinchenko’s wife made headlines when she threw some scathing lines at City coach Pep Guardiola. She questioned the Spanish coach’s tactical decisions in the aftermath of City’s UCL 2019-2020 quarterfinal loss to Lyon.

Shcheglova claimed on her YouTube channel that it was all Guardiola’s fault for using an experimental technique for City, which ultimately led to their elimination from the Champions League. Zinchenko later explained why his wife’s emotions were so strong in his own words. The footballer claimed that his wife’s criticisms of his coach’s tactical tactics were solely a reaction to her disappointment following City’s loss to Lyon.

After his better half began to get harsh abuse from Guardiola’s supporters, Zinchenko felt forced to step in and have a say.
