*Club domestic league appearances and goals

Andrey took over FC Basel for their 1993–94 season. His team included the likes of Swiss international goalkeeper Stefan Huber, defenders Massimo Ceccaroni, Marco Walker, Reto Baumgartner and Samir Tabakovic, the midfielders Mario Cantaluppi, Martin Jeitziner, Admir Smajić and Ørjan Berg and the Swiss international strikers Dario Zuffi and Philippe Hertig. Together they won the promotion/relegation group and became Nationalliga B champions and thus won promotion to the top flight of Swiss football. This after six seasons in the second tier.[2]

He stayed with the club the next season, but was fired during the starting months of his third season.
