Marat Nailevich Izmailov (Russian: Марат Наилевич Измайлов, Tatar: Марат Наил улы Измайлов; born 21 September 1982) is a Russian former professional footballer turned linesman.

Mainly a right midfielder, he could also appear as an attacking midfielder, being best known for his dribbling skills and pace while also possessing a good long-distance shot and accurate passing. He played most of his injury-plagued career with Sporting CP, after starting it with Lokomotiv Moscow.

Izmailov represented Russia at the 2002 World Cup and two European Championships, earning 35 caps in 11 years.

Personal life[edit]

The ancestors of Izmailov come from Nizhny Novgorod Oblast Mishar Tatar village Semyonovka (Семёновка).[1]

Club career[edit]

Lokomotiv[edit]

Born in Moscow of Volga Tatar descent, Izmailov emerged through local FC Lokomotiv Moscow's youth ranks, making a lightning progression in a period of six months. He was already a very important first-team member when Lokomotiv won the Russian Premier League titles in 2002 and 2004, and the player received the 2001 award for Best Young Player.[2] However, early on, he also often suffered with injuries.[3]

On 24 October 2001, Izmailov was one of the players who helped crush R.S.C. Anderlecht in Brussels, for the season's UEFA Champions League (5–1).[4]

Sporting[edit]

In July 2007, Izmailov was loaned for one season to Sporting CP, making his official debut in the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira on 11 August, against FC Porto in Leiria. The game ended 1–0, with the game's only goal being scored by him at the 75th minute, with a long-distance effort; he also played that match with an injury.[5]

On 6 October 2007, coming from the bench, Izmailov contributed with two late goals (his first league ones) in a 3–0 home win against Vitória de Guimarães,[6] and eventually helped the side finish second in the Primeira Liga, adding the Taça de Portugal also against Porto.[7] During the following summer he signed a permanent deal with the Lisbon-based club, which paid Lokomotiv €4.5 million.[8][9][10]

In 2009–10, Izmailov's physical problems resurfaced, and he would spend more than three months in the sidelines with a knee condition.[11] He returned to training following coach Paulo Bento's dismissal, in late November 2009, but spent most of the following years on the sidelines nursing the same injury,[12] and quarreling with Sporting's board of directors over the issue.[13]

Porto[edit]

On 7 January 2013, after passing the pertinent medicals, Izmailov joined Porto on a two-and-a-half-year contract, with Miguel Lopes moving in the opposite direction.[14] He changed his jersey name from Izmailov to Izmaylov, and scored in only his second match, helping to a 2–0 home win over F.C. Paços de Ferreira.[15]

On 31 January 2014, after spending four months in his country due to family reasons, Izmailov signed for Gabala FK in the Azerbaijan Premier League on loan until the end of the season, rejoining former Lokomotiv coach Yuri Semin who he worked with nine years ago.[16][17] On 16 July he returned to his homeland and signed on loan for FC Krasnodar, which had the option of making the move permanent at the end of the campaign.[18]

Izmailov scored his first goal in Russian football in seven years on 14 August 2014, netting his team's first in a 4–0 home win against FC Spartak Moscow.[19] He left Porto at the end of his contract, in July 2015.[20]

Krasnodar[edit]

On 20 July 2016, after one year out of football, 33-year-old Izmailov signed a one-year contract with Krasnodar with an extension option.[21] On 15 March 2017, he and club parted ways by mutual consent.[22]

Ararat Moscow[edit]

On 9 June 2017, Izmailov joined Russian Professional Football League club FC Ararat Moscow, where he shared teams with fellow former internationals Roman Pavlyuchenko and Aleksei Rebko.[23] On 26 September, his contract was dissolved by mutual consent.[24]

International career[edit]

Izmailov made his debut with Russia aged just 19,[25] and was summoned for the squads at the 2002 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2004, playing twice in each of those tournaments. On 25 May 2012, after an absence of six years, he was selected by manager Dick Advocaat for his Euro 2012 squad.[26]
