Playing career

Before playing professionally, in 1987–88 Skrypnyk participated in the reserve competitions of the Soviet Top League for Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk playing some 46 games. In 1987 Skrypnyk also played one game for Dnipro in the Soviet Cup.

He continued to play for the Zaporizhzhia team after dissolution of the Soviet Union when the Metalurh Zaporizhya was admitted to the Vyshcha Liha (Ukrainian Top League) in 1992–1994. In the mid 1990s Skrypnyk returned to his "home" club in Dnipro for couple of seasons. In 1995–1996 he played for FC Dnipro when it was coached by Bernd Stange who later recommended Skrypnyk to WerderBarkov, Oleh.

In 1996 he was sold for 1.5 million DM to the German side Werder Bremen with which he stayed for about 22 years (1996–2018).[http://www.kopanyi-myach.info/index.aspx?page=zbirna_matches&numplayer=98 Viktor Skrypnyk (all international games)]. Kopanyi myach.info In 1999–2000 Skrypnyk was injured several times and even hospitalized, because of that he did not play neither for the club or the national team. At the end of 2002–03 season Skrypnyk again sustained a major injury and recovered only by the winter intermission of the 2003–04. After the 2003–04 season aged at 34, he decided to retire.

Coaching career

After retiring from playing career Skrypnyk stayed with Werder as a coach at the Werder's football academy. His coaching UEFA license "A" Skrypnyk received initially in Kyiv and supposedly it had to be good across whole Europe. But in Germany no one was acknowledging the license and he had to take the coaching courses again in Germany. At first it was the category "B" license which allowed Skrypnyk to train children. With time he received the top category license.

Skrypnyk became head coach of Werder Bremen II from 18 June 2013 until 25 October 2014 when he took over the first team of Werder Bremen.{{cite news|title=Skripnik: "Frings soll noch lernen"|url=https://www.kicker.de/skripnik_frings-soll-noch-lernen-588030/artikel|access-date=25 October 2014|publisher=kicker|date=18 June 2013|language=de}}{{cite news|last1=Leslie|first1=André|title=Werder Bremen coach Robin Dutt sacked|url=http://www.dw.de/werder-bremen-coach-robin-dutt-sacked/a-18021060|access-date=25 October 2014|publisher=Deutsche Welle|date=25 October 2014}} He finished with a record of 31 wins, seven draws, and nine losses for the reserve team.{{cite web|title=Werder Bremen II|url=https://www.kicker.de/werder-bremen-ii/team-trainer/3-liga/2015-16|website=Kicker|publisher=kicker|access-date=1 December 2015|language=de}} He made his debut against Chemnitzer FC in the DFB-Pokal on 28 October 2014.
