Oleg Aleksandrovich Shatov (Russian: Олег Александрович Шатов; born 29 July 1990) is a Russian former professional footballer who played as an attacking midfielder. Earlier in his career, he mostly played as a left winger or right winger.

Early life[edit]

Shatov was born and grew up in Nizhny Tagil, where the winter conditions made playing outdoor sports very difficult.[1] As a result, Shatov began playing futsal from the age of 14, before committing fully to association football two years later.[1]

Club career[edit]

Ural[edit]

Shatov made his professional debut in the Russian First Division in 2007 for FC Ural Sverdlovsk Oblast.[2] He was named Ural's Player of the Year after the 2010 season.[1]

Anzhi[edit]

Although Shatov was scouted by CSKA Moscow, he accepted an offer to join Anzhi Makhachkala during the 2011-12 winter transfer window. Upon joining Anzhi, Shatov was teammates with Roberto Carlos and Samuel Eto'o. Shatov earned his first call-up to the Russian men's national team while playing at Anzhi.[1] At the end of Shatov's first season, the team finished in fifth place in the Russian Premier League and suffered several changes of coaches.

Zenit[edit]

Shatov was signed by Zenit Saint Petersburg in the summer of 2013.[1] During the 2015-16 season, Shatov was a regular in Zenit's Champions League campaign that season, scoring the winning goal against Gent in the group stage.[3] Zenit was eventually eliminated by Benfica in the final 16.

Shatov left Zenit on 29 July 2020, when his contract with the club expired.[4]

Krasnodar[edit]

On 6 February 2018, he joined FC Krasnodar on loan until the end of the 2017–18 season.[5]

Rubin Kazan[edit]

On 29 July 2020, he signed a contract with Rubin Kazan for a term of 2 years with an additional 1-year extension option.[6] On 18 November 2021, his contract with Rubin was terminated by mutual consent.[7] He explained that he decided to pause his playing career due to repeating injuries and that he will reassess his situation in January 2022.[8]

Return to Ural[edit]

Shatov resumed playing when he rejoined his first club Ural Yekaterinburg in January 2022 for the pre-season camp. On 1 February 2022, he signed a contract with Ural until the end of the 2021–22 season.[9] Shatov extended his contract for the 2022–23 season on 16 June 2022.[10] On 10 August 2023, Ural announced that Shatov cancelled his contract to pursue an education as a coach.[11]

International career[edit]

After receiving a call up by coach Fabio Capello, Shatov scored a goal in his debut for Russia, in a friendly match against Iceland which Russia won 2-0.[1]

On 2 June 2014, he was included in the Russia's 2014 FIFA World Cup squad.[12]
