Valeri Vikentyevich Minko (Russian: Валерий Викентьевич Минько; born 8 August 1971) is a former association footballer who played defender and now head coach.
He capped for USSR U-20 team at 1991 FIFA World Youth Championship.
In 1993, he was subjected to nephrectomy after being injured when playing a 1994 U-21 European Championship qualifying game against Greece (1–1).
