About club career
Eugene Savin is a pupil of the football school of the club from Tobolsk under the name “Irtysh”. In this city, the boy’s parents worked at the petrochemical plant (which was the main sponsor of the team). Accordingly, he lived with them and studied sports at a local club. But after the young football player was seen in action, he was invited to a sports boarding school in Volgograd.
His first club was Rotor-2 in 2000. Then, in 2001, he became part of the main, first composition of this team, but he did not play a single match. In 2002 he was invited to Ryazan-Agrokomplekt, where he entered the field 35 times in a year. The next team was the “Locomotive”. But as part of the capital's team, he did not play a single match.
Evgeny Savin changed clubs every year. In 2004, he moved to Tom, where he entered the field 27 times and even scored 4 goals. In 2005 he moved to Anji, and then, in the same year, to Khimki. For each team he scored 3 goals. Next was “Amkar” (49 games and 9 goals) and “Wings of the Soviets”. By the way, he stayed there the longest - from 2008 to 2011, played 103 matches for the Samara team and scored 23 goals.

In 2007, in August, Evgeny Savin was supposed to move to Moscow CSKA. However, “Amkar”, which included at that time an attacker, repelled him. Moreover, the contract has already been signed by both the Perm team and the footballer himself. By the way, he was supposed to be designed for 5 years. They say that the shareholders of the Moscow club have changed their minds.
It is interesting that in the period from 2006 to 2010, Evgeny Savin managed to upset the goalkeepers of FC Tom (before moving to them). He constantly scored them no matter what team he played for. The head coach of “Tommy” Valery Nepomnyashchy, when Eugene turned to them, joked - they say, finally, Savin will stop scoring them.
Retirement

But the striker himself explained his decision. He said that regardless of whether he had options for moving to a club or not, the training was daily and exhausting. And in parallel, Eugene himself was looking for a team. He wanted to return to Tula, to play for Arsenal again. But, as the footballer said, the transfer fell through, and for unknown reasons. The coach even said that he was waiting for the player and was ready to watch him. But the meeting did not take place. But there were no other attractive options for a football player. In any case, those that were available did not motivate. Therefore, Eugene decided to make the most difficult choice in his life - to end his career as a field player.
