Edit ProfileCareer
He is currently playing for PFC Olexandria in the Ukrainian First League. Hennadiy got his start in football at the Football Club Chornomorets Odessa youth school. Altman’s professional career has been closely linked to his father’s coaching career.
He has moved to many clubs that were coached by his father.
Over the years Hennadiy has played for Football Club Dynamo Odessa, Football Club Zimbru Chişinău, Football Club Mashinobudivnyk Druzhkivka, Metalurh Donetsk, Football Club Khimki, Football Club Chornomorets Odessa, Football Club Illychivets Mariupol, and PFC Olexandria. So far his longest playing stint has been with his home town team Chornomorets, which lasted 5 years.
In 2002 Altman, along with his father moved to Football Club Chornomorets Odessa and was battling for the starting position with Vitaliy Rudenko. At the start of 2007, Altman left Ukraine to sign with Israeli club, Hakoah Maccabi Amidar/Ramat Gan where he would not count as a foreigner since he is Jewish.
Media outlets reported that Altman left Ukraine due to some anti-semitic behavior of the football supporters in Ukraine.
Altman played one Toto Cup match for Hakoah before being released. In the summer of 2007, along with his father, he moved to Football Club Illychivets Mariupol. After his father’s unexpected firing in 2007 he was transferred to another Ukrainian First League club, PFC Olexandria.
