Alexei Eremenko

Yeryomenko made his debut in the Soviet Top League in 1981 for FC SKA Rostov-on-Don. In the early 1990s, he moved to Finland, where he played for Jaro (1991–94 and 1995–1997) and HJK Helsinki (1999–2003). With the latter team, he played alongside his eldest son Alexei Eremenko, 19 years his junior, and together, they helped their side win two Finnish championships in 2002 and 2003, thus becoming the first-ever father-son duo in the history of football to win a title in the top tier. He retired at Jaro in 2005, aged 41.

Yeryomenko was the manager of the Finnish club FF Jaro between August 2009 and June 2016. On 4 August 2016, Yeryomenko was appointed as manager of Kazakhstan Premier League side Shakhter Karagandy, being fired on 29 May 2017. On 8 August 2017, Yeryomenko signed a one-year contract with Armenian side FC Pyunik, but left the club on 31 October 2017. On 22 May 2018, SJK announced that Yeryomenko had replaced Tommi Kautonen as their manager after their poor start to the season. On 11 February 2020, FK Spartaks announced that Yeryomenko had been signed as their new manager.

He is the father and agent of Alexei Eremenko, Roman Eremenko and Sergei Eremenko.
