Nikolai Pisarev is a striker, a Soviet-era footballer who managed to play for Russia as well. He was born in the capital on November 23, 1968. His parents worked at the USSR Ministry of Defense. Nikolay Pisarev is a football player of the era, he could stay in Europe and live there happily, but he chose Russia, because, according to him, there is nothing better than working in the Spartak team and living in Russia.
Personal life
Nikolay married at the age of 18 with his classmate Nadezhda, they have two children. With Hope, he lived for six years. Despite the separation from his wife, often talked with children. In general, Nikolay Pisarev is the father of six children from different marriages. The last marriage is generally a scandalous story: they say that he turned off the house to his wife, and she and her children froze in severe frost.
Club career
Pisarev Nikolay began his club career in the Sports School of the Torpedo Football Club, where he performed from 1986 to 1989. “Torpedo” has done its job - and raised a good football player. At this time, Nicholas was drawn to go abroad. As he himself says, he was tired of the Soviet mess. His parents tried to dissuade him, but there it was.
The story of his departure is very interesting. At that moment, it was almost impossible to move to Europe, to any team. Only those over twenty-eight years old were taken there. But Pisarev Nikolai Nikolaevich went to the trick. He wrote to the president of the Football Federation a letter in which he said that he wanted to break with football forever and completely change his occupation. Vyacheslav Koloskov believed him and released him from the Torpedo. Without thinking twice, Nikolai began to collect things, preparing to move to Europe.
Nikolay Pisarev moved to Switzerland, the Winterthur club, this is an amateur second division. However, this fact in no way confused the footballer. There, in Switzerland, he could train only once a day, and if the weather was bad, the training was completely canceled.
Two years later, Switzerland bothered him, and he returned to Russia. Club "Spartak" (Moscow) was waiting for him under the leadership of Romantsev Oleg Ivanovich. At first he sat on the bench, but a year later he began to brilliantly act as a striker. It was then that Pisarev became one of the top scorers. Three seasons in Spartak made him a two-time national champion. Everything went very well, but in August 1995 he left for Spain. The club of the highest Spanish division has signed a contract with Nikolai for three years. As a result, in Spain, the footballer played twenty matches, did not score a single goal, often received injuries and was mostly in reserve.
In 1998, Pisarev returned to Russia, where he again began to play for Spartak, then at Dynamo (Moscow), again Spartak, and finally Torpedo ZIL. In 2001, Nikolai's club career ends.
Coaching career
In 2002, Nikolai began his coaching career. His first brainchild is the Krasnoznamensk football club , then Samara's “Wings of the Soviets”, “Uralan” in Elista. But all this did not bring much glory to Pisarev.
In 2004, something happened that changed the life of Nicholas. He began to coach the Russian national beach soccer team. He brought this unusual sport for Russia to a new level. Moreover, the coach himself was not averse to chasing the ball on the field, sometimes speaking for the national team.
In the spring of 2010, another important event happened: Nikolai Pisarev became the sports director in the Russian Football Union and began to do his favorite thing - to support, develop and popularize football in general. On September 16, he was appointed head coach of the Russian youth team. This was the impetus for the team - finally it entered the European Championship among youth teams, for the first time in twelve years. After that, Nikolay leaves this post for a short while, and then in the fall of 2015 he returns as a mentor to the youth team.
Since 2010, Nikolai Pisarev also helps the head coach of the Russian team. Ten years ago, he even tried himself as a commentator - together with Viktor Gusev, he commented on the match of the final of the World Cup Italy - France.
Future plans
Pisarev plans to train the Russian youth team at least until the end of the qualifying cycle of the 2017 European Championship. Vitaly Mutko said about him something like this: "Pisarev will continue to work as the head coach of the youth team and, in addition, will continue to work as the sports director of the RFU."
