Biography of Boris Rotenberg
The future footballer was born on May 19, 1986 in Leningrad. A few years later, the family moved to live in Finland. Boris's father Boris Romanovich Rotenberg is a well-known businessman and head of many large enterprises in the country. Also known is the uncle of the football player - Arkady, who is an oligarch and billionaire.
Since childhood, Boris has been passionately involved in football. He began to take his first steps in this sport at the age of five, when he began to study at the Ponnistus football school. Rotenberg studied at this institution for more than nine years.
After receiving his first football education, Boris signed a contract with the Finnish team "HIK". Then there was an invitation from Jokerit and Klubi-04. But nowhere did he become a real player in the first team. In parallel with his club career, he began to be called up to the youth national team of Finland, for which he ended up playing 12 matches.
These unsuccessful performances were followed by the player's return to Russia. In 2006 he moved to St. Petersburg and went to study at the local state university. But he did not give up his career as a football player. Boris was able to get a job in the backup team of the St. Petersburg "Zenith". For this team, he held about 50 meetings. This was followed by various leases to Yaroslavl Shinnik, Israeli Maccabi, Vladikavkaz Alania. But Rotenberg did not succeed in finding his place in these groups.
In 2011, the footballer moves to Dynamo Moscow. But he again has the role of a spare. Boris again begins to move around the leases and in 2015 he falls into the Rostov club. It was the best season in the history of the team, and Rotenberg took part in several matches and received a medal for the second place in the Russian Championship.
The heads of the Moscow Lokomotiv drew attention to him. In 2016, the player joined this team. And again Rotenberg got into the team, which in the new season has set itself the highest tasks. The footballer made his debut for Lokomotiv in April 2017, when he came on as a substitute in a match against Tula Arsenal. And the next year Boris, together with the team, became the champion of Russia, having practically not played a single match. In general, he holds the record among all Russian footballers in terms of the minimum number of games in teams during his long career as an athlete. Most often, Rotenberg spent time on the bench, but still played in 6 games of the championship season.
For the Finnish national team, Rotenberg played 45 minutes in the 2015 match against Estonia. Taking out on the field from the first minutes, Boris was replaced at half-time. Since he did not play a full match for the team, he has every right to play for any other team.
The personal life of a football player
Boris Borisovich Rotenberg has been married for many years. His chosen one in 2013 gave birth to his child, daughter Leah. A footballer very rarely advertises his personal life and is more involved in promoting his playing career.
