Alan Yelizbarovich Dzagoev (Russian: Алан Елизбарович Дзагоев, pronounced[ɐˈlanjɪlʲɪˈzbarəvʲɪdʑdzɐˈgo(j)ɪf]; Iron Ossetic: Дзӕгъойты Елизбары фырт Алан; romanized as Dzagoyev; born 17 June 1990) is a Russian former professional footballer who played as a midfielder.

After joining Akademiya Tolyatti in 2006, he remained there for two seasons before transferring to CSKA Moscow. Following a successful debut season in the Russian Premier League, he won the award for Best Young Player in the league and made his way into the Russian national team. He is regarded as a star in his native North Ossetia.[2]

A full international for Russia since 2008, he was the joint top scorer at UEFA Euro 2012 and also played at the 2014 FIFA World Cup and 2018 FIFA World Cup.

Dzagoev has won three Russian Premier League titles and four Russian Cups.

Early and personal life

Dzagoev (born Zagoshvili[3]), the younger of two sons of Yelizbar (who is commonly referred to as Tariel) and Lyana, was born and raised in Beslan, North Ossetia–Alania, to which his family, ethnic Ossetians from Georgia,[2] moved in 1989.[4] He played football on the streets with his brother Gela right up to the second grade of elementary school, when their mother, a passionate football fan, brought them to the Terek Beslan youth team.[5]

In 2000, Dzagoev moved to Vladikavkaz to play for a local youth team, Yunost. As their team used to attend Alania Vladikavkaz matches, he became their fan. He describes Valery Gazzaev, an Ossetic footballing legend who later became his coach at CSKA Moscow, as his childhood hero, also stating that Evgeni Aldonin and Frank Lampard were role models for him.[5] In July 2005, Dzagoev joined the Konoplyov football academy.[6]

In July 2012, Dzagoev married Zarema Abayeva, who is originally from North Ossetia-Alania's capital, Vladikavkaz.[7] They have two children - Elana (born 2013) and Khetag (born 2016).[8][9]

Club career

Akademiya Tolyatti

From January 2006 to December 2007, Dzagoev played for Akademiya Tolyatti, formerly known as Krylia Sovetov-SOK, of the Russian Second Division. He made his professional debut on 29 April 2006 in a 1–2 home defeat against Tyumen.[10] He appeared in 37 matches and scored six goals for the team.

CSKA Moscow

Dzagoev signed for CSKA Moscow before the start of the 2008 Russian Premier League season.[11] His first appearance was as a substitute in a match against Luch. A couple of games later, he appeared in the starting lineup in the home match against FC Khimki and managed to score a goal and two assists. He was also a starter when the team won the 2008 Russian Cup final. In the round 13 game against bitter rivals Spartak Moscow, Dzagoev made three assists, helping CSKA to secure a 5–1 victory and since then he has become an undisputed member of the first eleven. Dzagoev was also the man of the match when he scored two goals in a 1–3 away victory against UEFA Cup winners Zenit Saint Petersburg.

At the end of the 2008 season, Dzagoev was chosen as Best Young Player of the Year by the Russian Football Union.[12] In October 2008, it was reported that Real Madrid were interested in signing the player, but it was not confirmed. In the 2008 season Dzagoev played 29 matches and scored 13 goals. Dzagoev scored from a very tight angle during a Champions League match against Manchester United on 4 November 2009, which finished 3–3.[13] In 2009 season he played 40 matches and scored 10 goals.

On 2 December 2010, Dzagoev provided an assist for Sekou Oliseh and later added a cool finish as CSKA defeated Lausanne-Sports 5–1 in their penultimate group game, securing first place in Group F of the Europa League.[14] In the final group game against Sparta Prague on 15 December, Dzagoev scored the opening goal as CSKA dropped their first points of their European campaign, succumbing to a 1–1 draw.[15]

On 24 September 2011, Dzagoev scored the winning goal of a 3–1 Premier League victory over Volga Nizhny Novgorod.[16] Three days later, Dzagoev scored a 45th-minute goal against Internazionale and a later strike from Vágner Love put the hosts level, until a late goal from Mauro Zárate gave the Italians a 3–2 victory.[17] Dzagoev provided the cross from which CSKA debutant Pontus Wernbloom netted the equalizer in their 1–1 draw against Real Madrid in their first leg Round of 16 clash on 21 February 2012.[18] In the 2012–13 season CSKA won the Russian Premier League title and Dzagoev was considered by some to be the best left midfielder.[19] In 2013/2014 season CSKA became the champion of Russian Premier League again and Dzagoev played 23 matches and scored 3 goals in all competitions.

The 2015–16 season became one of the best in his career. On 21 May 2016 in the last match of Premier League with Rubin Dzagoev scored the winning goal and CSKA won another Russian Premier League title.[20] In this season he played 43 matches, scores 8 goals and 11 assists in all club competitions.[21] Dzagoev scored twice in the 2016–17 UEFA Champions League group stage, against Bayer Leverkusen[22] and Tottenham Hotspur though the Moscow club exited Europe at this stage.[23]

Having been sidelined with injury for much of 2017–18, Dzagoev returned to the CSKA side as a substitute in a Champions League match with FC Basel, scoring the goal at St. Jakob-Park.[24]

On 21 June 2019, Dzagoev signed a new two-year contract with CSKA Moscow, keeping him at the club until the summer of 2021.[25] On 1 July 2021, Dzagoev's contract with CSKA expired. At the end of the same month, the possibility of extending the contract until the end of the 2022–23 season was announced. In the 2021–22 season, Dzagoev appeared in 20 matches and recorded 3 assists, and CSKA itself was not going to win medals again. In May 2022, information appeared that, despite the current contract, Dzagoev would leave the club at the end of the season. Dzagoev soon denied these reports.[26] On 20 May 2022, CSKA's official website confirmed the midfielder's departure at the end of the season.[27]

Rubin Kazan

On 2 September 2022, Dzagoev signed a contract until the end of the season with recently-relegated to Russian First League club Rubin Kazan, reuniting with his former manager at CSKA, Leonid Slutsky.[28]

Lamia

On 28 September 2023, after his contract with Rubin Kazan had expired, Dzagoev signed a one-year deal with Super League Greece club Lamia.[29][30] On 21 November 2023, Dzagoev announced his retirement due to persistent injuries.[31]

International career

Dzagoev with the Russia national football team in 2011

After a string of impressive performances at club level, Dzagoev was called up to Russia squad for a 2010 World Cup qualification match against Germany scheduled for 11 October 2008.[32] He made his debut as a half-time substitute, at the age of 18 years and 116 days,[33] thus becoming the youngest outfield player ever to compete for Russia, and second youngest overall after goalkeeper and CSKA teammate Igor Akinfeev.[34] Dzagoev nearly earned the team a crucial away draw as he flicked the ball past Germany's goalkeeper René Adler, but hit the crossbar.[35]

Tras el partido, el seleccionador ruso Guus Hiddink declaró: «Se ha integrado muy bien al equipo... Alan es un jugador muy inteligente con la capacidad de dar pases decisivos y abrir el juego. Lo demostró una vez más en Alemania». [ 36 ] Sin embargo, el propio Dzagoev, descontento con la derrota, calificó su debut de «fracaso». [ 36 ]

Marcó su primer gol internacional el 8 de octubre de 2010 en una victoria a domicilio por 2-3 sobre la República de Irlanda en la ronda de clasificación de la UEFA Euro 2012. [ 37 ] Fue confirmado para la lista final de la Euro 2012 el 25 de mayo de 2012. [ 38 ] Dzagoev marcó dos goles en el partido inaugural de Rusia en el torneo de la Euro 2012 contra la República Checa el 8 de junio de 2012, una victoria por 4-1, [ 39 ] [ 40 ] en la que fue nombrado Jugador del Partido . [ 41 ] Dzagoev añadió su tercer gol del torneo en el segundo partido de su equipo contra Polonia , [ 42 ] consiguiendo un empate 1-1 para su equipo. [ 43 ] Con tres goles marcados, terminó el torneo como máximo goleador, junto con Cristiano Ronaldo , Fernando Torres , Mario Gómez , Mario Balotelli y Mario Mandžukić .

El 2 de junio de 2014 , fue incluido en la selección rusa para la Copa Mundial de la FIFA 2014. [ 44 ] Dzagoev apareció como suplente en los tres partidos del equipo, ya que Rusia fue eliminada en la fase de grupos .

Dzagoev fue incluido en la selección rusa para la Eurocopa 2016 ; sin embargo, se retiró debido a una lesión el 22 de mayo de 2016. [ 45 ] Fue excluido de la selección nacional para la Copa Confederaciones de la FIFA exactamente un año después , nuevamente por una lesión. [ 46 ]

On 11 May 2018, he was included in Russia's extended 2018 FIFA World Cup squad.[47] On 3 June 2018, he was included in the finalized World Cup squad.[48] He featured in the opening match of the tournament against Saudi Arabia but was withdrawn through injury after just 24 minutes.[49] He recovered from injury to come on as a substitute in extra time against Croatia in the quarterfinals. He took a free kick that went brilliantly on to the head of Mariò Fernandes that was Russia's 2–2 equalizer with 5 minutes left to play in extra time. Dzagoev converted his shot in the eventual penalty shoot-out, but Russia lost to Croatia in the end of it.[50]

Style of play

Dzagoev in Russian colours, 2014

Dzagoev is a playmaker, who "enjoys playing behind the strikers".[34] His main position is on the left side of midfield.[19] However, he is versatile, having also played "on the right side of Russia's three-man attack" in their win over the Czech Republic at EURO 2012 in which Dzagoev scored two.[51]

In 2009, ESPN SoccerNet called Dzagoev "one of the hottest prospects on the continent", commenting that he is "quick, good in the air and with exceptional technical skills".[34] He has been recognised as the finest in the country in his position, being declared the best left-midfielder in 2013.[19] He was also named as Russia's "star man" by BBC Sport when they compiled their UEFA EURO 2012 team profiles.[52] When CSKA manager Leonid Slutsky was asked of Dzagoev following a goal against Tottenham Hotspur in 2016, he opined: "it's obvious Alan Dzagoev is one of the top players in the Russian league", adding that it was "not surprising that scouts were watching him and it will not be surprising if he continues his career in one of the top British clubs".[23] Shortly before the last round of international friendlies in the run-up to the 2018 FIFA World Cup, The Guardian branded Dzagoev as one of "three Russia players with the capacity to harm top-level opponents".[53]
