Igor Vladimirovich Kolyvanov (

striker, accumulating 90 goals scored in 333 games at the top level in the Soviet Union
as well as in Italy.

He was the head coach of the

Bologna F.C. 1909, and was a regular member of the Russia national side
.

Youth

Born in Moscow,

FShM Moscow, and after a two-year stint with it, he was picked up by the famous Spartak Moscow youth system. Although Spartak was one of the leading teams in the Soviet Union at that time, Kolyvanov did not see a chance in breaking into the starting line-up, and when Dynamo Moscow
called him in 1986, at the age of 17, he agreed to a move.

Playing career

Soviet Union & Russia

After transferring to

UEFA Cup
, he was allowed to transfer to Italy.

Foggia Calcio

After his transfer to Foggia Calcio, Kolyvanov was initially overwhelmed by the emphasis placed on

Bologna F.C. 1909
.

Bologna

At Bologna, Kolyvanov was able to play as a pure striker once again, without having responsibilities across the entire field like in Foggia. This immediately reflected on his goal scoring, and he was Bologna's top striker in his first season, with 11 goals in 27 games. The next few years he continued to score consistently, until the 1999–2000 season where a back problem resurfaced and he was forced to undergo an operation, essentially missing almost the entire season. An attempted comeback in mid-2000 was hampered by further injuries, and in 2001 Kolyvanov retired from professional football.

Coaching career

After a brief stint as the

2006 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship. Kolyvanov's achievement as a coach was exemplified by the very organized and consistent tactical play of the team, especially for players of that age, along with extreme motivation. Although never listed amongst the tournament's favorites, and without star players, Russia was able to win because of these traits. After the victory, Kolyvanov was offered an extension to his contract, along with a salary raise. He remained the head coach of the same age group national team, when it effectively turned into the U19 team. On 20 November 2008, he was announced as the new head-coach of the Russia U21 team.[1]

After returning

Russian Football National League at the end of the 2018–19 season, he was replaced by Sergei Ignashevich on 4 June 2019.[2]

On 12 May 2022, Kolyvanov was hired by
