Leonid Viktorovich Slutsky (Russian: Леонид Викторович Слуцкий; born May 4, 1971 in Volgograd) is a Russian professional football coach and a former player, who currently coaches PFC CSKA Moscow.

Playing career

Slutsky's playing career ended at just 19 years of age. He had to retire due to a knee injury sustained after falling out of a tree while rescuing a neighbour's cat.[1]

Coaching career

Slutsky was head coach of FC Moscow 14 July 2005[2] until the end of the 2007 season.[3] His final match as head coach of Moscow was a 3–1 win against Luch-Energiya Vladivostok on 11 November 2007.[4] Slutsky was head coach of Krylia Sovetov between 1 January 2008[5] until 26 October 2009[6] when he replaced Juande Ramos to became the head coach of CSKA Moscow.[7] In December 2009, under Slutsky, CSKA reached the knock-out stage of the Champions League for the first time in the club's history,[8] before being knocked out by Mourinhos Inter Milan in the quarter-finals.

Two years later the achievement was repeated, when CSKA defeated Inter Milan at the San Siro in the last game of the group stage.[9]

Towards the 2012/13 season Slutsky strengthened the team defense and re-organized the attack, which helped the team set a record of 15 games without being scored against, and to win all the games where the team scored first, resulting in a championship.[10]
