Stanislav Salamovich Cherchesov (Russian: Станислав Саламович Черчесов, pronounced [stənʲɪˈslaf sɐˈlaməvʲɪtɕ tɕɪrˈtɕɛsəf]; Ossetian: Черчесты Саламы фырт Станислав, romanized: Ĉerĉesty Salamy fyrt Stanislav; born 2 September 1963) is a Russian football manager and former international footballer who played as a goalkeeper for Soviet Union and Russia. His most recent appointment was managing Hungarian team Ferencváros.

In August 2016 he was appointed as head coach of the Russia national team and helped his team reach the quarter-finals of the 2018 FIFA World Cup.[1] He was dismissed from the Russian national team after the team was eliminated in the UEFA Euro 2020 group stage.[2] He took charge of Hungarian side Ferencváros in 2021, winning two consecutive Nemzeti Bajnokság I titles before being sacked in July 2023.

Club career

The goalkeeper played 57 matches in the German top-flight for former East German powerhouse Dynamo Dresden a couple of years after reunification between East and West.[3]

International career

Cherchesov played for Russia at the 1994 World Cup and 1996 Euro. He also was named to the squad for the 2002 FIFA World Cup, but was an unused substitute. He made 39 appearances for the team[4] after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Cherchesov also made one appearance for the FIFA team in the charity game against America in 1995, and for Europe vs Africa in 1997.

Managerial career

Cherchesov was the manager of FC Kufstein from January to November 2004 and the manager of FC Wacker Tirol from November 2004 to May 2006. In June 2006 – June 2007 he was the sporting director of FC Spartak Moscow. From 19 June 2007 to 14 August 2008 he was the manager of FC Spartak Moscow. On July 12, 2008, Spartak suffered a historic crushing defeat against CSKA with a score of 1:5. On August 13, 2008, Spartak lost another crucial match to Dynamo Kyiv with a score of 1: 4 in the Champions League qualification. The next day, general director Valery Karpin announced the dismissal of the head coach of the team - Cherchesov Stanislav.[5] Manager of Amkar Perm since June 2013 to April 2014.[6]

On 8 April 2014, Cherchesov left Amkar Perm.[7]

In August 2016, Cherchesov was named as the new head coach of Russia on a two-year contract through to the 2018 FIFA World Cup.[11] Under his management Russia would beat Saudi Arabia 5–0, Egypt 3–1, and Spain 1-1 (pen. 4-3), reaching the quarterfinals for the first time since 1970. He has become the first ever Russian manager, since the collapse of USSR, to bring Russia into the knockout stage of a major tournament for the second time (Dutchman Guus Hiddink led Russia to the UEFA Euro 2008 semi-finals), which others like Pavel Sadyrin, Oleg Romantsev, Georgi Yartsev and Leonid Slutsky have failed to do.

On 27 July 2018, he signed a new contract with the Russian national team, on a two-year term with a further two-year extension option.[12] On 12 March 2020, he extended the contract until 30 December 2022. It would be extended to 31 July 2024 if Russia qualifies for the knockout stage at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.[13]
