Career

Native of a Tajikistani village near Dushanbe, Sysenko made his professional debut at the end of the 1980 Soviet First League for Pamir Dushanbe coming as a substitute in home game against Fakel Voronezh. A little more play time he was given in 1982 and 1983, but eventually he was transferred out to Dinamo Samarqand for couple of seasons that was playing a tier below. In 1986–1989 Sysenko was a regular first-squad player for his hometown Pamir and made his debut in the 1989 Soviet Top League.

Around the time of the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1990–1994, Sysenko played for second-tier teams in the Russian Federation, Uzbekistan and Ukraine. In 1995 he returned to playing for Kuban and then moved to Nakhodka. After 1995 he played for lower-tier or amateur teams in the Russian Federation, Ukraine, and Central Asia before retiring in 2000.

In 2011 he became one of the co-founders of SC Poltava which he also managed.^[1]^[2]^[3]
