Valery Kuzmich Nepomnyashchy (Russian: Валерий Кузьмич Непомнящий; born 7 August 1943) is a Russian association football manager and a former player. He is currently in charge of youth development with Baltika Kaliningrad.

Most famously he coached the

Shanghai Shenhua, (whom he led to a second-place finish for the first time in his career), from 2004 to 2005, and the Uzbekistan national football team in 2006. He worked as a football commentator for a Russian television channel, “NTV-Plus”. In September 2008 he signed a 2-year contract with Russian club Tom Tomsk.[1]

Early life

Nepomnyashchy was born in Altai Krai, Soviet Union during World War II. His mother, pregnant with him, was evacuated there from Moscow, after his father was killed during the war. In 1947, they moved to the Turkmen Soviet Socialist Republic, nowadays Turkmenistan, where he would start his youth career.[2] Graduated from the Turkmen State University in 1969.[3]

Career

Nepomnyashchy would start his career as a footballer where his greatest achievement was to play as a striker for third tier Soviet football club

Kolhozchi Ashkhabad and by 1982 he was named as their head coach where he led them to eighth in his debut season.[4]

By the end of 1983 Nepomnyashchy had returned to the Turkmenistan Sports committee until in 1984 when he was doing training courses in Moscow, he was asked by the Russian Office of football if he wanted to work abroad. Nepomnyashchy soon accepted the offer and was expected to provide training courses and assistance to developing countries such as Algeria, Tunisia and Suriname. Nepomnyashchy would find these trips as too frustrating and periodical in there planning until Cameroon offered him a concrete proposal.[5] Initially Nepomnyashchy thought that the Russian funded aid would see him coach one of the Cameroon youth teams, however with the previous manager Claude Le Roy deciding to leave to join Senegal there was an unexpected vacancy for the senior Head coach position, which Nepomnyashchy took and signed a two-year contract with the team.[citation needed]

At first Nepomnyashchy would struggle with the French language and had to use an interpreter, however he would eventually get his message across on what he wanted his team to do and they would qualify for the 1990 FIFA World Cup. Drawn in Group B they unexpectedly beat reigning champions Argentina as well as Romania to book their place within the last 16.[6] After beating Colombia 2-1 in extra-time Cameroon eventually lost to England in the Quarter-Finals.[7] While he was offered an extension to his contract, Nepomnyashchy decided to leave the team after his contract expired to take on a more lucrative position with the Chinese Football Association as a technical consultant.[citation needed]

In the

Pakhtakor FK where he won the 2006 league title with them.[citation needed
