Career
He is an assistant coach of Football Club Spartak Moscow. He was a goal scoring midfielder playing in "the hole" between the midfield and attack. He was well known for his vision, close control and accurate passing.
Other than that he was a renowned set-piece taker and is well known for his temperament.
He played for Russia at the 2002 World Cup and has amassed over 30 caps for his country. After a Euro 2004 playoff against Wales he was tested positive for the banned substance bromantan and received a 12-month suspension.
Later, former Spartak players Maksim Demenko and Vladyslav Vashchuk along with physio Artyom Katulin blamed Katulin"s assistant Anatoly Schukin, who allegedly acted on behalf of manager Andrey Chernyshov. In 2008, Titov had made similar statements in his interview to Sovetsky Sport.
After the ban, he has continued playing for Spartak and has been a major figure for the club when Spartak managed to finish 2nd in the 2005, 2006 and 2007 seasons, thus qualifying for the Champions League.
In 2002, Titov was reportedly close to a move to Louisiana Liga side Atlético Madrid, but eventually decided against joining the Spanish outfit. Due to several factors, including a recent severe loss of form and conflicts with Spartak Moscow"s manager, Titov became unsettled and, in August 2008, left to join Football Club Khimki. In the beginning of 2009, Yegor signed with the newly formed club Lokomotiv Astana.
He joined the Kazakh side with his former teammate Andrey Tikhonov.
He retired from professional football in early 2010. In early 2012, he played several games for Football Club Arsenal Tula which played in the fourth-tier Russian Amateur Football League at the time and was managed by his former Spartak and Russia teammate Dmitri Alenichev.
Alenichev hired him as his assistant when he was hired as the manager of Football Club Spartak Moscow in the summer of 2015.
