Stanislav Salamonovich Cherchesov was born on September 2, 1963 in the territory of the former Soviet Union in South Ossetia. He began his playing career with Spartak Ordzhonikidze (now Vladikavkaz) and then moved to the Russian capital, where he also defended Spartak Moscow and Lokomotiv Moscow. After the break-up of the Soviet Union, he continued his career abroad, and in Dynamo Dresden, Germany, and in Tirol, Innsbruck, Austria.
Due to the ever-changing political situation in his country, Cherchesov also defended himself in the national team of the Soviet Union, the CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) and Russia, of which he was a member of the 1994 World Cup and the 1996 European Championships. The former excellent goalkeeper played for the national team a total of 49 times between 1990 and 2000.
The former goalkeeper is from Ossetian, specifically South Ossetian territory, so he understood himself well with his Georgian counterparts in the national team, in which he could never be number one goalkeeper in the long run because his coaches took turns playing for him and the Chelsea contract in the 90s. Dmitry Viktorovich Harint. He was unlucky before he was certified abroad, because his finger broke in 1993 just before the match against the Hungarian national team. The goalkeeper, who aspires to the Western Championship, eventually contracted to East Germany, moved to Dresden, and Dynamo was a weaker team than Spartak Moscow at the time. The goalkeeper, nicknamed Stan, defended himself against the Hungarian national team, and the list of Soviets began with his name in the Moscow World Cup qualifiers on September 25, 1991. The match ended in a 2-2 draw, it was the last match of the Hungarian team against the Soviet Union.
Known for his balanced, steady performance, the goalkeeper suffered a lot in Dresden, he also had problems with the German language, but he was strengthened by the support of his family, especially his angelic blonde little girl. Cherchesov got out of the Dresden goal but later bounced back and was part of Bayern Munich’s pronunciation in the German Cup and was able to stand at the goal when he defeated champion Werder Bremen.
After playing legion in Germany, he played in Austria for another six years, after which the Spartak ended his player career in Moscow. Cherchesov returned to Austria in 2004 and began his coaching career with FC Kufstein in the regional league and continued with Wacker Tirol. He returned home in 2006 and took on the role of sports director and then head coach of his former team, Spartak Moscow. In Russia, he coached the teams of Zemchuzhina Sochi, Tyerek Grozny, Amkar Perm and Dinamo Moscow, then in Poland he led Legia Warsaw.
He also worked for Dinamo and Legia with Hungarian footballers, with Balázs Dzsudzsák in Moscow and Nemanja Nikolics in Warsaw.
When Cherchesov replaced Dan Petrescu of Romania on the bench at the Dynamo, he replaced Balázs Dzudzák in a superior win, who was surprised by the pull of his new coach. “I was still a member of the starting team at the goal parade against the Volga, we knocked out our opponent to five to zero, I gave the goal a good pass, they were replaced in a minute.
I didn’t even have a place on the bench in the next match, but it didn’t really surprise me either, as Cherchesov is the type of coach who knows at the beginning of the week who will be a beginner and who won’t “- declared back in 2014 Jujak.
We are not spared by the new professional staff, they have been conducting hard training we have seen for a long time, and we don’t have too many days off lately either. “We have had a day off for the first time since Cherchesov has been our coach,” said DVSC’s current footballer at the time.
The Russian coach, famous for his hard training methods, continued after Dinamo Moscow’s bench at Legia Warsaw, won the championship with the Polish club and the Polish Cup in the 2015/2016 season, and then became the federal captain of the Russian national team at the 2016 European Championships.
The Russians finished in the last place of their group at the 2016 continental tournament, so Leonid Sluckij was fired and expected from Cherchesov to build a new, more striking team for the 2018 World Cup.
At the executive committee meeting, I said I always worked for a team where expectations were high. However, it would be frivolous to aim to win the 2018 World Cup “- said the new federal captain after his appointment.
“Currently, the task is to create a competitive environment within the team and give players the opportunity to show off their skills and try to assess them and exploit them against opponents. At present, there is no point in making loud statements,” said Cherchesov, who did not want to make big promises. to toss, but rather to focus on hard work and development.
At the World Championships in Hungary, the Russian national team started well, knocked out Saudi Arabia and defeated Egypt in their group, and then was eliminated from Uruguay, but was still in the top 16. In the eighth final, a great test of strength awaited the Russians, as they faced the Spaniards standing up with the world stars, but said goodbye to the more likely band in an 11-duel. Among the top eight, Cherchesov’s team also played a close match with the later Croatians, but this time he fell short of the penalty shootout and said goodbye to the tournament.
By the way, the Russian national team was not waiting for the World Cup with the best omens in a seven-match winning streak, many feared the band, but the character and individuality of the federal captain helped a lot in reversing the negative series. In addition to his characteristic physique, Cherchesov’s humor is also unique, he deliberately called James Dodd a reporter at a press conference before the World Cup, and then reacted strikingly to the remark that the Russians are completely indifferent to the World Cup.
It is difficult to adjust to the maze of the Russian soul. It takes a long time to start driving, but if we put our foot on the pedal, we’ll go a long way “- said Cherchesov, under whose leadership the Russian national team reached the quarterfinals and the world event, which ended with the success of the French, brought a high standard, it did not disappoint football fans in terms of directing either.
After a successful World Cup appearance, Cherchev remained at the forefront of the national team and confidently put the Russian national team to the semi-domestic European Championship, which was postponed from last year to this year. During the qualifiers, the Russians finished second in Group I behind Belgium, ahead of the qualifying Scotland and Cyprus, Kazakhstan and San Marino. The national team itself no longer did so well in the European Championships, finishing in the last place in Group B with Belgium, Denmark and Finland with one win and two defeats, so it could not get into the straight relegation round.
Cherchev still caused at least one hilarious moment for the fans during the tournament. One of the memorable events of the Soccer European Championships was that Cristiano Ronaldo, in one of the press conferences, put the two cola in front of him, telling everyone to drink water. After the Portuguese world star, Paul Pogba packed the beer away, and Locatelli moved the cola bottle away. Cherchesov reacted in a peculiar way to the antecedents, immediately opening a cola at the Russian press conference (using another bottle of cola) and drinking it, and then when he was told that Ronaldo had put the soft drink away, he just shrugged and took another sip of the drink.
After the European Championships, Cherchesov left the national team by mutual agreement after 57 matches and was without a team for almost half a year until he accepted Ferencváros’ offer. The balance of the Hungarian national team is especially good, under his control the Russians have played against the Hungarians three times, they have won twice and once they have played a draw with Ádám Szalai. Interestingly, in 2020, only the Russian national team was able to beat Marco Rossi’s team.
After Thomas Doll and Sergei Rebrov, who previously worked for Fradin, the club will be run again by an internationally renowned professional, and after the dismissal of Peter Stöger, the green-whites can be given a new impetus with Stanislav Cherchesov. The new coach was the first to comment on the club ‘s website, saying he had an old relationship with the team: “As soon as I learned about Ferencváros’ interest, I started looking for information about the club. I was not completely unfamiliar with Fradi, as I really liked the Hungarian team going to the final during the 1975 Cup Winners’ European Cup. I was able to quickly identify with the project “- said Cherchesov.
The 58-year-old professional values hard work more than talent, with a strong emphasis on physical training and modern, intensive technical and tactical training in his training methods. A former federal captain who is a proponent of offensive football, his teams usually own a lot of the ball and strive to control the game.
I am a strict and determined coach. Talent is worth nothing to me without work. I consider the latter much more. I want to be a champion with the team, a game that will lure even more fans into the stadium. Fradi’s printers are fantastic, I remember them being beaten up by Hungarian printers during the victory at the CSKA Moscow home “- said Cherchesov after his appointment.
According to the Russian expert, he is absolutely living his job, and Fradi could benefit a lot from his professional mentality in the future.
Most importantly, I passionately love my job. My job is my life and my life is my hobby. Regardless, the head coach is also man-made. My family, wife and children are by my side and I also need their support, which means a lot to me. It helps a lot not to be tense, “one told me earlier In an interview with UEFA.
The previous coach of Ferencváros, Peter Stöger, left his post after the defeat against DVSC, then under the leadership of Csaba Máté, Fradi won 1-0 against Honvéd, so he closed the year with a victory and could start the new year at the top of the table. The team, already led by Stanislav Cherchesov, will continue to do so, and for now it is difficult to predict how much the defending champion will develop with him, but the philosophy of the international routine and hard work will be in favor of the Russian expert. After Sergei Rebrov, Ferencváros, which has entered the group round of both international cup series in the last three years, has once again been able to put a renowned star coach on the bench, with whom he can even reach the BL group round again next season.
Cherchesov’s first bet in Fradi will be the NB I match against the Riflemen’s Academy on January 26, 2022.
