Murad Musayev


Murad Olegovich Musayev is a Russian football coach of Avar origin. He is the manager of FC Krasnodar.

Club career

He led the Under-19 team of FC Krasnodar to the 2017–18 UEFA Youth League knockout phase, where they were eliminated by Real Madrid only in a shootout in front of the sold-out Krasnodar Stadium.
On 3 April 2018, following the firing of Igor Shalimov, he was appointed the caretaker manager of FC Krasnodar. After his caretaking spell was over in early May, he could not be registered as manager with the Russian Premier League due to lack of UEFA Pro Licence, so Oleg Fomenko was formally registered with the league as head coach and Musayev as his senior assistant coach, but Musayev de facto continued to manage the team. He received his UEFA A Licence later in 2018, but that still didn't make him eligible to be registered as the head coach. Before the 2019–20 season, Fomenko moved to FC Krasnodar-2 and Sergey Matveyev was hired by FC Krasnodar as head coach. Musayev passed his UEFA Pro Licence exam in the summer of 2020 and was officially registered with the league as Krasnodar's manager on 20 June 2020.
