Sergej Karimow (born December 21, 1986 in Saran ; † December 24, 2019 ) was a German-Kazakh football player . Karimow was born in what is now Kazakhstan as the son of a Russian-German and grew up in Wolfsburg .

Career

Karimow was active in his youth at SSV Velstove and SSV Vorsfelde before moving to VfL Wolfsburg in 2000 . From the 2006/07 season he played in the second team of VfL, which rose from the Oberliga to the Regionalliga Nord in his first year. The following year, following the recommendation of trainer Bernd Hollerbach , he was appointed to the Wolfsburg professional team trained by Felix Magath . On December 8, 2007, he played his first Bundesliga game when he was in the starting line-up against VfB Stuttgart . On the following two matchdays he also played from the start and completed the 90 minutes of playing time.

In the round of 16 cup match against FC Schalke 04 on January 30, 2008, he advanced to the match winner because he scored the goal to equalize 1-1 shortly before the end of regular time. In the subsequent penalty shootout , he also converted the decisive penalty. On December 13, 2007, Karimov signed a professional contract with the Wolves until 2010. After he was not performed in the first team squad at the beginning of the 2008/09 season, Magath called him over the course of the season. At the end of the season, the wolves won the first championship in the club's history. Karimow only played one game (against Hertha BSC ). In the following year, the German-Kazakh played in the second team, except for a substitution in the 85th minute, every minute of the game in the regional league, but he was not used in the professional team. Nevertheless, he was appointed to the Kazakh national soccer team and used on August 11, 2010 in the friendly against Oman .

After Karimow was in the professional squad of VfL Wolfsburg in the following season, but was not used again, he moved to the second division MSV Duisburg for the 2011/12 season , where he was supposed to compensate for the departure of the local defender Olivier Veigneau . After initially poor performance, he moved out of the team and found himself as a reserve player during the season. He left Duisburg at the end of the 2012/13 season .

From January 2014 Karimow was part of the Lupo Martini Wolfsburg league team for a half series . But due to injuries he only came to a single mission, in which he even scored a goal as a defender.

Karimov died in December 2019. The cause of death is unknown.
