In 2002, Titov was reportedly close to a move to La Liga side Atlético Madrid, but eventually decided against joining the Spanish outfit.
Titov, who was just several years ago was considered one of Russia's key players stopped playing for the team when he refused to be called up for a Euro 2008 qualifying match against Estonia, saying the reason was because his wife was pregnant and he wants to spend more time with her.
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 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.[http://sport.gazeta.kz/art/?aid=36096 Lokomotiv signed Titov and Tikhonov] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150610181543/http://sport.gazeta.kz/art/?aid=36096 |date=10 June 2015 }} Sport.gazeta.kz 15 February 2009
He retired from professional football in early 2010. In early 2012, he played several games for 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.{{cite web|publisher=Footballfacts|url=http://footballfacts.ru/clubs/49061-arsenal-tula|title=Arsenal Tula 2011/12 season summary|language=ru|access-date=12 August 2015}} Alenichev hired him as his assistant when he was hired as the manager of Spartak Moscow in the summer of 2015.
