MOSCOW (Reuters) - Former Ukraine international Andrey Gusin died on Wednesday in a motorbike accident at the Chaika Raceway outside Kiev.

The 41-year-old, who was assistant coach at Anzhi Makhachkala until May, was pronounced dead after crashing his bike approaching a bend while practising at the circuit.

Gusin won 71 caps for Ukraine and reached the Champions League semi-finals with Dynamo Kiev in 1999.

The ex-defender, who won the Ukrainian league title seven times with Dynamo, leaves behind a wife and three children.
