His outstanding skills and determination lead him to become one of the leaders of his side, and eventually he left his team for further challenge.

[citation needed] In the summer of 2003, Gurenko returned to Lokomotiv Moscow, still managed by Yuri Syomin at the time.

He ended his national team duty after a row with the manager during preparation for the WC qualifier against Moldova on 3 September 2005.
