Football Club Anzhi Makhachkala (Russian: Футбо́льный клуб «Анжи́» Махачкала́, pronounced
In January 2011, Anzhi Makhachkala was purchased by billionaire
History
The club was founded in 1991 by former Dinamo Makhachkala player Aleksandr Markarov with the head of Dagnefteprodukt – Magomed-Sultan Magomedov and took part in its first season in the Dagestan League the same year. The club's name Anzhi means pearl in local Kumyk language and is a former name of Makhachkala. FC Anzhi ended up as league champions with an unbeaten record and 16 wins out of 20 matches.[5]
Due to the
In 1999, Anzhi won the First Division, and were thus promoted to the top-flight Premier League for the first time.[5] The side missed out on a bronze-medal finish on the last day of the season, as they conceded a last-minute Torpedo Moscow penalty which took their opponents into third place.[7] On 20 June 2001, the club played in the final of the Russian Cup for the first time, losing to Lokomotiv Moscow on penalties after a 1–1 draw.[5]
Anzhi finished 15th and were relegated from the Premier League in 2002, but during their first season back in the First Division, they reached the semi-finals of the Russian Cup, where they lost 1–0 to Rostov.[8] In their seventh season in the First Division, Anzhi won the league and returned to the Premier League.[5] On 5 December 2010, defender Shamil Burziyev died in a car accident at the age of 25.[9]
Purchase
On 18 January 2011, the club was purchased by Dagestani billionaire
Kerimov's investment was immediate as the club made many signings in the
In summer 2011, the club signed Hungarian winger Balázs Dzsudzsák, who signed a four-year deal for a reported €14 million.[18] Anzhi also bought Russian midfielder Yuri Zhirkov from Chelsea for a similar fee.[19] On 23 August, Cameroonian striker Samuel Eto'o signed from Inter Milan for approximately €21 million on a world-record €20.5 million annual salary.[20][21] The deal included a three-year-contract.[22] On 30 August, Anzhi made their last big summer transfer window signing, with the arrival of Mehdi Carcela.[23]
In September 2011, Gadzhi Gadzhiyev was sacked, after managing only one win in the last six matches, leaving the club seventh in the league table.[24] Roberto Carlos took on a player-manager role, along with assistant Andrei Gordeyev. On 27 December 2011, the club appointed Yuri Krasnozhan as the new coach.[25] However, he was sacked after only two months, and the team didn't play any official games under his management. In February 2012, experienced Dutchman Guus Hiddink was announced as his replacement.[26] Hiddink's first signing was Congolese defender Christopher Samba, joining for £12 million from Blackburn Rovers on 24 February.[27]
On 30 January 2012, Roberto Carlos announced his plans to retire at the end of the season, despite his contract running until June 2013.[28] He ended his football career on 1 August and took up a role as the club's director.[29][30] The Russian club concluded the first season after the takeover, the 2011–12 season, with a fifth-place finish in the league, which qualified the club for the Europa League second qualifying round. In the Russian Cup, the club was eliminated in the round of 16 with an extra time loss against Dynamo Moscow.
On 3 September 2012, the club signed
Anzhi finished the 2012–13 season in third place in the league table, missing out on qualification for the next season's Champions League. Anzhi began the campaign in great form, losing only once in their first 12 matches and even holding the top spot four times. However, they suffered a downturn in form after the new year, winning only three times in their final twelve matches, including a 4–0 defeat against Krasnodar in March. In the Europa League, they finished second in their group, and were eliminated in the round of 16 by Newcastle United with a last minute goal after beating Hannover 96 in the round of 32.[34] They reached the Russian Cup final that season, losing to CSKA on penalties.
On 22 July 2013, Hiddink resigned from his post as manager, ending an 18-month stint.[35] His newly appointed assistant, countryman René Meulensteen, was promoted to the manager position.[36] However, after 16 days as the team manager, Meulensteen was sacked.[37]
Budget cuts
On 7 August 2013, Kerimov decided to reduce the team's annual budget by two-thirds.
Several of the players sold had been recent signings for Anzhi; Aleksandr Kokorin had signed from Dynamo only a month before being sold back to the Dinamiki and had yet to make an appearance for Anzhi. Igor Denisov and Aleksei Ionov had both signed only in June and had played only a handful of matches before being sold. Christopher Samba had rejoined Anzhi in July after a spell with Queens Park Rangers.[46] Willian had joined in January and played only 11 league matches before being sold.
The budget cuts and subsequent sales resulted in Anzhi performing very poorly in the 2013–14 Russian Premier League: they finished last and were relegated, having amassed a record low of three wins and 20 points, making them the worst last-placed team in Europe.[47] However, they returned to the top division at the first attempt.
Although they were relegated, the club still managed to get into the last 16 of the Europa League, being eliminated by AZ Alkmaar.
Recent history
Pavel Vrba was appointed as the club's new manager on 30 June 2016,[51] following the expiration of Ruslan Agalarov's contract on 31 May 2016.[52] On 28 December 2016, Suleyman Kerimov sold the club to Osman Kadiyev,[53] with Pavel Vrba leaving by mutual consent two days later,[54] with Aleksandr Grigoryan being appointed as the club's new manager on 5 January 2017.[55]

Crest and colours
The club's crest includes a yellow eagle in traditional Caucasian clothing with elements of the Dagestani flag.
The club's name derives from the word Anzhi which means "pearl" in the Kumyk language. It was also the ancient name for the land around where Makhachkala is situated.
In the 2013–14 season, they changed their kit sponsor from Adidas to Nike.
Stadium
Due to the risk of possible armed conflict in Dagestan, the club's players primarily live and train at a training base near Moscow, which was previously used by
The club's 28,000-seat Anzhi Arena was built in 2003, and due to its facilities is not used in European competition, for which Anzhi use the Lokomotiv Stadium in Moscow. A high-priority goal of Kerimov when he purchased the club was the construction of a new 40,000 seater ground.[68]
Supporters
Anzhi receive most of their support from the Northern Caucasian region, particularly from the city of Makhachkala. The club also enjoys support from fans scattered all over Dagestan, and the local area in general.[69] The club is hated by some supporters of the Moscow-based clubs as well as Zenit Saint Petersburg, in part out of jealousy of the club's former wealth and also out of ethnic and religious animosity.[70]
