Kakhaber Kacharava (Georgian: კახა კაჭარავა; born 19 November 1966) is a Georgian football coach and a former player.

Career

[edit]

Kakha Kacharava has had the record-breaking three spells as manager of Dinamo Tbilisi. He was the first coach appointed since Roman Pipia's arrival at the club in 2010.[1]

In January 2012, he was appointed as a U19 manager for one year.[2] His team performed well enough to qualify for the elite round of 2013 European Championship, although Kacharava quit to join Zestaponi next January.[3] His stint coincided with an overall decline that this club was experiencing after winning two consecutive Championship titles.

In October 2013, Kacharava took charge of Spartaki Tskhinvali, later renamed as Tskhinvali.[4] During his three year-long tenure, he guided the team to the highest place in its history and Europa League.

Kacharava returned to Dinamo Tbilisi in early 2017[5] and spent almost two full seasons there. When it became clear that Dinamo would fail to win the league in 2018, the sides parted ways with four games to spare.[6]

The next year he took over Liga 2 side Samtredia, who had suffered relegation in the previous season. Under his management the team succeeded in promotion bid and secured an immediate return to the top tier. He stepped down in September 2020.[7]
