Vladislav Radimov - Russian footballer, midfielder, Honored Master of Sports, football coach. He played many matches for the Russian national team. This athlete is especially well known to St. Petersburg fans, since, having completed his football career, he returned to his native St. Petersburg as a Zenit coach.
Biography
Vladislav Radimov was born on November 26, 1975 in the city of Leningrad. The family of the future football player lived on Mokhovaya in a communal apartment of a three-story building. Both parents were dentists. The child refused to continue the family dynasty, because from early childhood he was afraid to treat teeth.
The football biography of Vladislav Radimov began when the boy was nine years old. But the sports history of the future football player did not begin with this. At first, the child became interested in fencing, so much so that he had several bronze medals won in competitions with the same kids as he did.
First steps in football
In the third grade, the fate of the boy made a sharp turn. School football coaches noticed a capable child and brought him to the Leningrad Smena football team. Vladislav joined the team later than his other peers, but he was able to quickly catch up.
At sixteen, Radimov already made his debut in big football. Having managed to take part in only one match for the Smena-Saturn team, the young footballer was invited to the main team of Moscow CSKA.
Football career
In the CSKA team, football player Vladislav Radimov successfully played for four years. In this club, the athlete went through a harsh school. As the youngest player in the team, Vladislav carried other people's baggage on trips. The team often had fights, where the guy was drawn into. And once there was such a case that during the match Radimov injured his leg and was forced to play with a fracture.
During his stay at CSKA, a young football player was invited to the Russian national team to participate in the European Championship, which was held in England. At the competitions, Vladislav took part in all three matches in which the Russian team played. He participated in international competitions 24 times. He completed his career in the Russian team in 2006.
In 1994 and 1996, Vladislav Radimov was on the list of 33 best players in the championship of Russia.
Then, in 1996, Radimov moved to the Zaragoza club, but his career in Spain somehow failed. The first season, Vladislav was the main player in the team, but then lost his position to competitors. After an unsuccessful second season at Zaragoza, the footballer returned to Russia.
After this failure, Vladislav Radimov played for six months in Dynamo Moscow (became the Russian Cup finalist) and in the Bulgarian Levski (became the Bulgarian champion). Despite some successes, the athlete for some reason does not like to remember this period in his career. Radimov already wanted to say goodbye to football, but then he found some inspiration.
Feeling a second wind, in May 2001 Vladislav joined the Wings of the Soviets team. Here Radimov was immediately accepted as a leader and made team captain. But, after playing a little in Samara, the football player in 2003 nevertheless returned to his hometown, becoming a player of the Zenit club. Almost immediately, Vladislav Radimov became the team captain.
FC Zenit
Having a quick-tempered character, the football player often disturbed the order on the field and was disqualified. In an interview, Radimov called the members of the Control and Disciplinary Committee insane. The result was not long in coming: the player was suspended from the game for five matches. Fans supported their beloved player and entered the stands of the next match with a poster: "KDK - morons." In February 2007, Vladislav was stripped of the rank of team captain for a fight with Fernando Riksen.
Speaking for the “Zenith”, Radimov brought many benefits to the team. It was here that Vladislav received the title of champion of Russia, won the Cup and Super Bowl. Largely thanks to Vladislav Radimov, Zenit won the UEFA Cup and left behind the legendary Manchester United in the UEFA Super Cup.
Personal life
In the personal life of Vladislav Radimov, there were two official marriages. There was also one civil marriage and many love stories.
Radimov's first wife was Larisa Bushmanova, who went to him from football player Evgeny Bushmanov, Vladislav played with him in the same club. In this marriage, the daughter of Alexander was born. After several years of marriage, Larisa again left, but now from Radimov himself. She met another man - a serious businessman.
Over the next three years, the footballer lived with Julia Izotova. The girl worked as a TV presenter in Samara.
The second official wife of Vladislav Radimov was the famous singer Tatyana Bulanova.
Acquaintance with Bulanova
Met Vladislav Radimov and Tatyana Bulanova in 2004. Their first meeting took place during a joint interview in a project called "Star with Star Speaks."
The love story developed very quickly. After a short period of time in the most romantic place on the globe, at the top of the Eiffel Tower, an offer was made. And in October of the following year, the main event in the life of a couple in love happened - a beautiful wedding.
Vladislav found a common language with his son Tatyana from his first marriage, Alexander, and soon a joint child appeared in the family - a boy Nikita. The wife and children became the main meaning of the athlete's life.
Divorce
The media often “bred” a couple, but always the information turned out to be false. And then came the day when the divorce of Vladislav Radimov from Tatyana Bulanova was a fait accompli.
Disagreement in the family began in 2014, when it became known about the betrayal of Vladislav with fitness trainer Iren Yakovleva. Having set out to take the man out of the family, her lover told the media about their romance. And then a strong man, a football player, showed weakness for the first time: he was confused and pretended not to know who this woman was.
Bulanova could have believed her husband, but the wives of other players often told her about a certain lady, with whom Vlad often appears. The last doubts were dispelled after Tatyana saw messages from Irene on her husband’s phone and her presence in the list of his friends in one of the social networks.
When everything was revealed, the unfaithful husband begged forgiveness from Tatyana for a long time, he vowed that such a situation would not arise in their lives. Bulanova’s heart trembled: she loved her husband, but the main thing was that his son Nikita simply idolized his father. The betrayal was forgotten, and the couple celebrated a decade of wedding. Below, see the photo of Vladislav Radimov with his family.
But the happy life of the star couple was threatened not only by treason. Vladislav could afford an extra glass, and his wife had to pick it up from the police station and talk to reporters. He was stopped on the road for speeding while intoxicated, and then he called his wife and she drove at night to pick up her husband. After another such incident, Vladislav paid a fine, but was deprived of his driver’s license for a year and a half. Then followed an explanation with the leadership of “Zenith”. And then every time it all started again.
These tricks soon bothered Tatyana, and she made the final decision on divorce. But Radimov’s family life was quite satisfied, he strongly resisted such a radical decision of his wife.
Until the last moment, Tatyana kept the decision secret, even from her mother and children. She did not want a scandal, did not want her name to be discussed in the media. The woman was worried that the process could be delayed, and this would badly affect the psyche of the youngest son. After thirteen years of marriage, the couple still broke up.
Career coach
On August 16, 2006, the last match took place with the participation of Radimov, after which the football player completed his player’s career.
After the end of his football career, Vladislav returned to his beloved Zenit as a coach. In January 2009, he was appointed head of the club.
On April 10, for a violation of the Russian Championship regulations, Radimov was removed from his post and appointed assistant coach of the Zenit youth team.
In 2013, Vladislav Radimov received the post of head coach of the newly created second Zenit team. Under the leadership of Radimov, the team took second place in the PFL championship and was transferred to the FNL.
Then the leadership of the club changed, and in 2017 Radimov was transferred to the position of coordinator of the Zenit football teams.
In addition to working in football, Vladislav Radimov is engaged in business, is a co-owner of the hosting company.
