We recall that in Ukraine, Zinnatullin gained scandalous notoriety in 2014, when just before the Super Cup match between Kyiv's Dynamo and Donetsk's Shakhtar, he held a meeting in one of Kyiv's restaurants with the then head of the FFU Referees Committee, Vasyl Melnychuk. The fact of such a meeting was recorded by ex-FIFA referee Serhiy Shebek.
Zinnatullin left Shakhtar in 2017.
