Vladimir Krikunow began his coaching career at HK Dinamo Minsk , for whom he acted as player- coach between 1982 and 1984. In 1984 he ended his playing career and was subsequently initially assistant and from 1985 head coach of Dinamo Minsk. At the end of the 1987/88 season he managed to move up from the second-rate Pervaya League to the Wysschaya League with Minsk .

In 1991 he took over the coaching position at HK Jesenice , with whom he won two Slovenian championship titles in 1992 and 1993. After this success he moved to HK Celje , which he was head coach until 1995. Then he was national coach at the Slovenian Ice Hockey Federation . Between 1996 and 1999 he was the head coach at Dinamo-Energija Yekaterinburg , with whom he was relegated in 1998 from the Superliga to the second division. A year later, the promotion succeeded as the best point team in the promotion round, but Krikunow left the club. From 1999 to 2001 he was in charge of Ak Bars Kazan and reached the final of the Russian championship in the 1999/2000 season .

During the 2001/02 season Krikunow was dismissed by Ak Bars Kazan and then took over the coaching position at Neftechimik Nizhnekamsk , which he held until 2004. At the same time, he was in charge of the Belarusian national team between 2002 and 2003 and led them to the country's greatest international success, fourth place, at the 2002 Winter Olympics . From 2004 he acted as head coach at HK Dynamo Moscow , with whom he won the 2005 Super League final and thus the Russian championship title. In addition, he was introduced in April 2005 as the new national coach of the Russian national team, with whom he won the bronze medal at the following World Cup .

During the 2007-08 season Krikunow was fired from Dynamo Moscow, but was obliged again a short time later by Neftechimik. With Neftechimik he reached the play-offs in the following four game years, but failed at the latest in the quarter-finals. Before the 2011/12 season he was again head coach at Ak Bars Kazan, but could not meet the expectations placed on him and his team with fourth place in the Eastern Conference. Therefore, his contract was terminated in April 2012.

From June 2012 Krikunow was the head coach at Barys Astana and from July of the same year coach of the Kazakh national team . In April 2013 he left Kazakhstan again and was again head coach at Neftechimik Nizhnekamsk, but dismissed at the end of October of the same year.

At the beginning of the 2013/14 season he was the head coach of the Belarusian national team, but resigned after three defeats from as many games in the Euro Ice Hockey Challenge . A few days later, he returned to Neftechimik as head coach and looked after the club until January 2016. Afterwards he was part of the sports management of Neftechimik. In November 2016 he was introduced as the new coach of Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg .

Since October 2018 Krikunow has been head coach at Dynamo Moscow again, replacing Vladimir Vorobyov , who was demoted to assistant coach.
