Volodymyr Bessonov Wasyljowytsch ( Ukrainian Володимир Васильович Безсонов ; Russian Владимир Васильевич Бессонов , Vladimir Vasilievich Bessonov * 5. March 1958 in Kharkiv , Ukrainian SSR ) is a Ukrainian football coach and former Soviet football player . Bessonow was a regular player at Dynamo Kiev in the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s and took part in three world championships with the Soviet national team; with the selection he became Olympic third in 1980 and vice European champion in 1988 . He has been a coach since 1993, currently coaching the Ukrainian first division club FK Charkiw .

player

Bessonow began his career in 1975 with Soviet second division metalist Kharkiv , but performed so well that after a few months he switched to the reigning European Supercup winner and Soviet champion Dynamo Kiev, to whom he would remain loyal for more than 14 years.

In 1977 he played for the first time in the dress of the Soviet national team for an international match - on July 27th against the GDR - before he was able to make it a regular player there, he became a leading figure in the U-team of the USSR. Bessonow later caused an international sensation at the first junior soccer world championship in Tunisia in 1977 , when he led the selection of the USSR with three goals to win the tournament and was also named best player of the tournament . and became Junior European Champion in 1978, followed by third place in the Olympic football competition in 1980. Overall, he was used ten times for the A-selection of the USSR at three world championships, which makes him the record field player in the country at world championships - only goalkeeper Lev Yashin was used more often in world cup finals ; in all, he made 79 A international appearances for the USSR in 13 years, which only exceeded four other players. In his last international match at the 1990 World Cup , the defender was sent off in the 2-0 draw against Argentina shortly after the break.

From the end of the 1970s Bessonow was together with Anatoliy Demyanenko and then Oleh Kuznetsov one of the key players on the defensive of Dynamo Kiev, which was a top European team in the mid-1980s in particular. But he was always a little overshadowed by the club's offensive - initially behind the line of attacks around Oleh Blochin and later the goal -hungry midfield led by Oleksandr Savarov and Oleksij Mychajlychenko . Bessonov was only honored as Ukrainian Footballer of the Year at the end of his career in 1989 .

At the end of his playing days, he went to the Israeli first division club Maccabi Haifa in 1990 , but only made five appearances before retiring from active football.

Trainer

Since 1993 Bessonow is active as a coach, in the Wyschtscha Liha 1993–94, 1997–2000, and 2001 at Arsenal Kiev , before he was responsible for the selection of Turkmenistan as national coach in 2002/03 . His next club was the Ukrainian second division Nywa-Swytanok in 2004/05 , in 2006 he then led Sorja Luhansk to promotion to the Ukrainian first division, but moved to the second first division from his hometown of Kharkiv, FK Charkiw.
