Ilshat Galimzyanovich Fayzulin (Russian: Ильшат Галимзянович Файзулин; Tatar: Илшат Галимҗан улы Фәйзуллин; born 5 March 1973) is a Russian football coach and a former player of Tatar ethnic origin.

A forward, his career was majorly spent in equal periods of time in Russia and Spain.

Club career

Born in Osinniki, Soviet Union, Fayzulin started playing professionally with PFC CSKA Moscow, where his performances garnered the attention of Spain's Racing de Santander (later, during one season, he would team up with compatriot Dmitri Popov at the La Liga side^[1]). Subsequently, he was a relatively important offensive element at Villarreal CF, helping the club achieve a first-ever top flight promotion in 1998.

After two unassuming spells in Portugal, Fayzulin finished 1999–2000 in Turkey with Altay SK, then returned to Spain and its second division with Getafe CF, not being able to prevent the Madrid team's eventual relegation.

Fayzulin then returned to his country, playing with four modest sides, and retired in Spain in 2007 after three years in the lower leagues.

International career

Fayzulin played one game for Russia, featuring 26 minutes in a 1–3 friendly loss against France on 28 July 1993.

Managerial career

On 11 August 2018, Fayzulin was appointed caretaker manager of Banants.^[2] On 24 November 2019, Fayzulin resigned as manager of Urartu.^[3]
