Eduard Vassilievich Malofeyev (Russian: Эдуард Васильевич Малофеев) (born 2 June 1942 in Kolomna) is a football coach and former international player who last managed of FC Pskov-747 Pskov.
Life and career
Malofeyev played for Avangard Kolomna (1960), Spartak Moscow (1961–1962) and Dynamo Minsk (1963–1972). In 1962 he won the Soviet championship with Spartak.
He was capped 40 times for the USSR national team in 1963–1968 and scored 6 goals.
Malofeyev led FC Dinamo Minsk to the championship in the Soviet Top League in 1982. In 1984–1986 he was the head coach for USSR. With Malofeyev at the helm, the Soviet national team qualified for the 1986 World Cup but he was fired shortly before the World Cup started in favor of Valeri Lobanovsky.
He also coached the Belarus national football team from 2000 to 2003.
Eduard Malofeyev took charge of deposed Lithuanian champions FBK Kaunas following talks with club owner Vladimir Romanov. Eduard Malofeyev has left his post as head of the youth academy at FC MTZ-RIPO in Belarus, and was introduced to the players at Kaunas on 15 December.
Malofeyev's trademark was what he called "sincere football," characterized by passion for the game and attacking style. It was in sharp contrast to the pragmatic, analytical approach favored by Valeri Lobanovsky.
He was signed by Scottish Premier League runners up, Hearts as Director of football in 2006, hired, once again, by Vladimir Romanov. He would also be working with head coach Valdas Ivanauskas. Malofeyev was temporarily given the role of head coach on 23 October 2006 after it was announced that Ivanauskas was to take a two-week leave of absence.[1] He departed from his temporary managerial position on 20 November 2006 to pursue his UEFA Pro coaching license, without winning one of his eight games in charge. This makes him officially the worst manager in Hearts' 132-year history.
On 6 December 2006, he returned to FC MTZ-RIPO to take up the position of head coach, but only lasted 6 months before being replaced.
He was named best manager of Russian Second Division, Zone West for the 2009 season.[2] He led his team, FC Dynamo St. Petersburg to promotion to the Russian First Division, but then resigned from his post, complaining about long travel distances in the First Division. Instead, he returned to Belarus to take on Shakhtyor Salihorsk. In July 2010 he returned to manage FC Dynamo St. Petersburg, but only lasted a month in the position before being fired in August. On 25 November 2010 he was appointed the manager of another Russian Second Division team FC Pskov-747 Pskov.
