Alexei (Oleksiy) Mikhailichenko (born March 30, 1963 in Kiev) is a former Soviet Ukrainian professional footballer who played for Dynamo Kyiv, Sampdoria and Rangers.
Mikhailichenko won championship medals in 3 different leagues in consecutive seasons - USSR 1990, Italy 1991 and Scotland in 1992 - 96.
Mikhailichenko was capped 41 times, scoring nine goals for the USSR and won the Gold Medal at the 1988 Summer Olympics. He was also part of Soviet squad at Euro 88 and the Euro 92. Mikhailichenko also played twice for Ukraine.
After retirement from playing football Alexei went back to Ukraine after being offered a position as coach at Dynamo Kyiv. When the legendary Kyiv manager Valeri Lobanovsky died in 2002 Mikhailichenko took over as manager. On June 16, 2006, it was reported that Mikhailichenko would take over as head coach of Scottish Premier League club, Heart of Midlothian. Hearts did not follow up their reported interest and instead appointed caretaker Valdas Ivanauskas on a full-time basis.
