In October 2009, he was appointed the new director of sports for Dynamo Moscow. His official contract started in 2010. In August 2010, he was appointed the head coach of Fakel Voronezh, and due to a technicality (the same person can't be registered for two professional teams at the same time), had to be un-registered from his Dynamo Moscow post, even though he continued to serve his duties of that position as well as coaching Fakel.
