Zenit captain Anatoliy Tymoshchuk will leave the team by summer. \n \nThis was reported by the club's head coach Dick Advocaat, according to the Interfax-Ukraine agency. \n \n"In May-June Tymoshchuk will leave the team. Tymoshchuk's expected transfer is one of the reasons why the club acquired Ihor Semshov from Dynamo Moscow. He will be able to replace Tymoshchuk if necessary," the coach told journalists on Friday. \n \nIn early February, the official website of Munich's Bayern quoted the club's general manager Uli Hoeness as saying that an agreement on Tymoshchuk's transfer from Zenit had been reached, and only the transfer date remained to be agreed. However, the next day Zenit announced that Tymoshchuk had not signed a contract with Bayern. \n \nOn Friday, Zenit presented three of its new players to journalists: I. Semshov, Hungarian Szabolcs Huszti (who came from Stuttgart) and Portuguese Fernando Meira (former Galatasaray player). \n\n"New players need to be given some time to find their place in the team. They are all very high-level players," said Advocaat. \n \nIn turn, club president Alexander Dyukov emphasized that Zenit's task in 2009 will be to regain the national champion title and perform successfully in European competitions. \n
