Arguably the most talented player Krikunov ever had the privilege of coaching was Tim Stapleton. He also worked as a coach with national teams of Russia, Slovenia, Belarus, Latvia and Kazakhstan.[3]
On November 29, 2021, Krikunov was announced as the new head coach of the KHL's Dinamo Riga.[1] After Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Dinamo Riga left the KHL[4] and Krikunov is no longer listed as the team's head coach, having been replaced by Mareks Jass.[5]
