Tymerlan Rustamovych Huseynov (Ukrainian: Тимерлан Рустамович Гусейнов; born 24 January 1968) is a former Ukrainian footballer now sporting director. Huseinov was Ukrainian Premier League's top goalscorer in 1993–94 and 1995–96 seasons (both with Chornomorets Odessa) scoring 18 and 20 goals respectively.

Playing career

Huseynov was born in Buynaksk, Dagestan ASSR, Soviet Union, now within Dagestan, Russia. Although born in Russian SFSR, Huseynov started his career at Pervomaysk, Ukrainian SSR.

Huseynov holds many firsts in Ukrainian soccer history, including being the first player to score 100 goals in official matches in Ukraine. He is also one of the all-time leading scorers in the Ukrainian Premier League with 85 goals in 215 matches. Though long retired from the national side and with only 14 caps to show for four years of service (between 1993 and 1997), Huseynov is the #6 all-time scorer (as of 31 January 2012) in the Ukraine national team's history with 8 goals.

Coaching career

After retiring from playing Huseynov began coaching at the last club he played, Signal. It's an amateur club from Odessa. He coached them from 2004 to 2007, winning the Odessa Oblast Cup in the process. In February 2007 he was hired as an assistant coach with FC Dniester Ovidiopol. In 2008 he moved into the administrative side of the club, becoming Dniester’s sporting director.
