Andrei Tikhonov in the army
When Tikhonov was 18 years old, he went to the army.

Tikhonov moved to the Samara "Wings of the Soviets", which, after his arrival, led in 2001 standings championship of Russia, took the final 5th place and made it to the European Cups. On December 28, 2004, refusing to enter into a new, one-year contract with the Samara club, Tikhonov joined Khimki, Moscow Region, playing in the First Division.
At the end of November 2007, after the change of ownership and the entire leadership of the Wings of the Soviets, in which Tikhonov had previously played, the new head coach of the Samara team, Leonid Slutsky, announced Tikhonov's return to the club as a playing coach.
A year later, Tikhonov signed a new contract with Wings, but already in February 2009 he left Samara, agreeing to a “very serious, solid offer from all sides” from Astana Lokomotiv. In the Kazakh club, Tikhonov reunited with his friends, Titov and Yuran. In March 2009, Tikhonov was appointed captain of Lokomotiv.
Soon, the new leadership of Lokomotiv refused to pay off the money debts of the former owner of the club with Titov, Tikhonov and Maxim Shatskikh, which resulted in the removal of highly paid football players from training. Titov and Tikhonov went to the Turkish training camp on their own, but were not allowed to train on the spot. The players declared their readiness to go to court, but after the intervention of the Football Federation of Kazakhstan, Lokomotiv paid part of the debt.
In the same year, the club fired the players, citing “truancy” at those same training camps as the reason. Due to the closure of the transfer window, Tikhonov was deprived of the opportunity to move to the club Russian Premier League, and on March 24 signed a one-year contract with Khimki, a First Division club. In 29 matches played in the 2010 First Division championship for Khimki, Tikhonov scored 2 goals and 15 assists.
In the 2011/12 season, he worked in the coaching staff of Valery Karpin, with the arrival of Unai Emery, he received an offer to change his job to the Spartak Academy. At the beginning of July 2012, he headed the Sparta Shchelkovo team from the LFL, the Moscow Region zone, group A. And on July 25, it became known that Tikhonov, in addition to working at Sparta, would work at the Spartak Academy named after F. Cherenkov as deputy director for sports issues.
At the end of May 2013, the day before the official announcement of the disbandment of the Shchelkovo team, Tikhonov left Sparta. On the same day he returned to the Spartak coaching staff. On June 2, 2014, after the expiration of the contract with the Red-Whites, Andrei Tikhonov joined the coaching staff of Krasnodar. In 2016, after a meeting with the governor of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, it became known about the appointment of Tikhonov as the head coach of Yenisei.
A year later, Andrey signs a contract with the Samara club "Wings of the Soviets", where he has been working for a year. He announced his departure from the club on October 5, 2018.
