Cherchesov Secures His Fifth Coach's Trophy in European Competitions
Stanislav Cherchesov: A Coach with Two European League Titles to His Name
Stanislav Cherchesov, a renowned football coach, has made a significant impact in Central and Eastern European football with notable successes in Hungary and Poland.
In the 2015-16 season, Cherchesov led Legia Warsaw in Poland to a "double" - winning the Ekstraklasa (Polish league title) and the Polish Cup, marking a significant achievement that established him as a successful coach in Polish football.
Fast forward to December 2021, and Cherchesov took charge of Ferencváros in Hungary. His tenure proved to be a dominant one in Hungarian domestic football, leading the club to win two consecutive Nemzeti Bajnokság I (Hungarian top division) titles in 2021-22 and 2022-23, as well as the Hungarian Cup in the 2021-22 season. This impressive run culminated in Ferencváros securing their fifth consecutive Hungarian championship title and their 34th title in their history.
Despite facing challenges in UEFA competitions, such as a notable loss against Qarabag in the Champions League play-off in 2025, Cherchesov's dominance in Hungarian domestic football continued until his sacking in July 2023.
Before managing Ferencváros, Cherchesov was also known for his stint as Russia's national coach, notably leading Russia to the 2018 World Cup quarterfinals. However, focusing on his club achievements in Hungary and Poland, his record shows clear domestic success.
In summary, Cherchesov has won a total of five coaching trophies, including two league titles in Poland and three in Hungary. His ability to win league titles in two different European leagues underscores his coaching proficiency in Central and Eastern European football.
