Yuri Krasnozhan is a well-known Soviet and Russian football player, acting on the positions of midfielder and defender. Also this person is a good coach. In general, he has a very interesting life and career, so it's worth telling about this in detail.

80th and 90th years

Yuri's playing career was much less intense than the coaching career. But nevertheless in the early 80's he was a player Nalchik "Spartacus." Four years Yuri Krasnozhan spent in the team and went on the field 76 times, for all time scoring only one goal. Throughout the years he also participated in the youth team of the RSFSR. Yuri successfully turned out to combine study with the career of a football player. In 1985 he received a diploma of higher education. After graduating from the Physical Education Department at Kabardino-Balkarian State University, he began teaching physical education at a local Nalchik school of education.

And then, in the early nineties, already being a fairly experienced teacher, Yuri Krasnozhan began to take part in the formation and development of FC Etalon (it was later renamed "Avtozapchast"). There he also began to play - in three seasons he went on the field 89 times and issued six goals. Thanks to his active participation in the life of the team, the club acquired a professional status and became a participant in the Second League of the Championship of Russia. And when in 1996 the Russian Cup was held, the "Etalon" did go to the 1/8 finals. By this year, Yuri Krasnozhan decided to enter the Higher School of Football Coaches, which he did. A year later, he graduated with success, after obtaining a license.

Further career

In 1999, Krasnozhan Yuri Anatolyevich became the coach of PFC "Spartak" from Nalchik. At first he was engaged with a double. But already in 2004 he was appointed the head coach of the main team. With the arrival of this specialist in the team, the club began to fight for leadership positions in the ratings. As a result - the 2nd place in the championship and the exit to the Premier League. There, in the top division, the players under the leadership of Yuri manages to maintain a worthy position. It is interesting that in 2006 Krasnozhan was recognized as a "coach-opening".

His next club was the capital's Lokomotiv. But Olga Smorodskaya, the president of the Moscow team, it seemed that Yuri admits serious mistakes in the training of players, in the formation of the starting lineup and in the rest. So on June 6, 2011 the coach was dismissed.

Last years

However, Yuriy Krasnozhan, whose biography and career is very interesting, is an excellent coach, so immediately after the "resignation" from the Moscow club he was appointed head coach of the second national team of Russia. The team under his leadership played six matches, of which five were won. Also in the winter he was appointed coach of "Anji", however, Yuri did not stay there for a long time and resigned himself.

In 2012, he began to lead the Krasnodar "Kuban", but six months later the chief investor of the team said that cooperation with this specialist will be discontinued. Therefore, Krasnozhan quickly invited "Terek" to his place. However, the leadership of this team also decided to terminate the contract ahead of schedule with Yuri, as the club did not rise above the 14th place after 14 rounds (considering that in the previous tournament of the Premier League 2012/2013, the team was in 15th place altogether).

From 2014 to 2015 Krasnozhan was the head coach of the national team of Kazakhstan. However, the contract did not renew, as the national team was again on the penultimate place in the group. So at the moment, Yuri does not occupy the post of coach, but you can be sure that he will definitely receive any offers in the near future. Because Krasnozhan is not only a coach, but also an economic director, a "breeder", a manager and guarantor of stability in one person.
