During his career he played for Dinamo Tbilisi (1980–81, 1984–87), Torpedo Kutaisi (1982–1983) and FC Guria Lanchkhuti (1988–90).
Later, in 1998-2005 he was the president of Georgian Football Federation. In 2003 he was one of the temporary managers of Georgia national football team.
In August 2010, he surprisingly took over financially-troubled Vitesse. He followed-up by acquiring the services of new players and replacing manager Theo Bos with the unexperienced Albert Ferrer, a former Spanish international defender.
