Magomed Musayevich Adiyev (born June 30, 1977) is a Russian football player and football coach. He played as a forward and midfielder for clubs in the Russian Premier League, and after the end of his playing career he worked as head coach of a number of Russian clubs. He is connected with Nizhny Novgorod football both through his playing career — he played for FC Nizhny Novgorod in the 2009 season — and through his coaching work with the youth team of Nizhny Novgorod's Volga.[1]

Playing career

Adiyev spent most of his career at clubs in the Russian Premier League. He made his top-level debut with Makhachkala's Anzhi, for whom he played from 1998 to 2002 with interruptions: during that period he made more than 80 appearances for Anzhi in the Russian Championship, scoring several goals.[1] In 2002–2003 he played for Saratov's Sokol in the Premier League and the First League, and in 1999 he played several matches for Moscow's CSKA.[1] In 2004–2008 he played for Grozny's Terek, first in the First League and then in the Premier League; over the 2004–2007 seasons he scored about 20 goals in total in official matches.[1] In 2004–2006 he played on loan for the Ukrainian club Kryvbas from Kryvyi Rih.[1]

In 2009 Adiyev played for FC Nizhny Novgorod in the First League: he made 22 appearances and scored 3 goals; he also took part in 2 matches of the Russian Cup that season.[1] His playing career effectively ended there.

Coaching career

After moving into coaching, Adiyev took charge of the youth team of Nizhny Novgorod's Volga: in the 2012/13 season of the Russian Youth Team Championship, the club under his leadership played 30 matches and finished 6th.[1] He then worked as head coach of Grozny's Terek-2 (2013–2016), and in the 2017/18 season he led Makhachkala's Legion-Dynamo in the Second League.[1] Alongside his club work, Adiyev assisted Igor Ledyakhov, head coach of Grozny's Akhmat.[2]

In June 2018 the management of Anzhi appointed Adiyev head coach of the club — a two-year contract was signed, and the team was given the task of returning to the Premier League. Club president Osman Kadiyev told TASS about this, noting that Adiyev was to put together his coaching staff by June 12.[2] In the 2018/19 season Anzhi under his leadership played 30 Premier League matches, winning 5, and finished 15th.[1]

In the following years, Adiev coached Rostov's Chaika (2019–2021), Kazakhstan's Shakhter of Karaganda (2021/22), the Kazakhstan national team (2022–2024), Grozny's Akhmat (2023–2025), and Khimki of the Moscow suburbs (2024/25). Since 2025, he has been head coach of Samara's Krylia Sovetov in the Premier League.[1] At the helm of the Kazakhstan national team, Adiev won the UEFA Nations League League C (2022/23 season), earning 4 wins in 6 matches, and led the team into the European Championship qualifying tournament.[1]
