Aleh Konanau began his playing career in Russia at Iskra Smolensk in 1983.
He later moved to Belarus, where he would play for various clubs until 1999.
In 1998 was named the Best Player of the Year[1] in Belarus. As a player he with KIM Vitebsk became the runner-up of the Belarusian Premier League.
The most glory Konanaw attained as a coach, was while in charge of FC Sheriff Tiraspol. His team became the champions in Moldovan Premier League three times (2004/05-2006/07), was the Moldavian Cup holder in 2006, and the Moldovan Super Cup in 2005.
On 9 June 2008, Konanaw was invited to take charge of Ukrainian Premier League club Karpaty Lviv following the resignation of Valery Yaremchenko.[2] He brought a new style of play to the team, including the use of a 4-3-3 formation which emphasizes the flanks instead of the usual 4-4-2 formation.[3][4] At the end of the 2008-09 season, Karpaty finished in the season in middle of the league at 9th place.[5] Kononov enjoyed more success the next season, guiding Karpaty to top 8 in the Ukrainian Cup where they were elminated by eventual finalists Metalurh Donetsk. They also finished fifth in the league and therefore qualifying for the 2010–11 UEFA Europa League, where after impressively passing Galatasaray S.K. in the Playoff Round, finished last in Group J with 1 point.
