Current season

FC Anzhi Makhachkala (Russian: ФК "Анжи" Махачкала) is a Russian football club based in Makhachkala, capital of the Republic of Dagestan. Founded in 1991, the club competes in the Russian Premier League. Anzhi play their home games at the Dynamo Stadium in Makhachkala.

On 18 January 2011, Anzhi Makhachkala was purchased by billionaire Suleyman Kerimov,[1][2] and since then the club have had sufficient funds for signings such as Samuel Eto'o[3] and the managerial appointment of Guus Hiddink in February 2012.

History

The club was founded in 1991 by former Dinamo Makhachkala player Magomed-Sultan Magomedov, then head of Dagnefteprodukt, and took part in its first season in the Dagestan League the same year. They ended up as league champions with an unbeaten record and 16 wins out of 20 matches.[4]

Due to the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the club entered Zone 1 of the Russian Second Division (the third-highest tier) in 1992[4] and finished in 5th place. The club won their Group in 1993, but due to league reorganisation were not promoted, and remained in the new Western Zone of the third tier until a second-place finish in 1996 guaranteed promotion to the First Division,[5] under the coaching of Eduard Malofeev.[4] A key player in Anzhi's early history was Azerbaijani international forward Ibragim Gasanbekov, who was the team's top scorer in all of their first seven seasons. He was league top scorer in 1993 (30 goals) and 1996 (33 goals).

In 1999 Anzhi won the First Division, and were thus promoted to the Russian Premier League for the first time.[4] The side missed out on a bronze-medal finish on the last day of the season, as they conceded a last-minute Torpedo penalty which took their opponents into third place.[6] On 20 June 2001, the club played in the final of the Russian Cup for the first time, losing to Lokomotiv on penalties after a 1–1 draw.[4]

Anzhi finished 15th and were relegated from the Premier League in 2002, but during their first season back in the First Division they reached the semi-finals of the Russian Cup where they lost 1–0 to Rostov.[7] In their seventh season in the First Division, Anzhi won the league and returned to the Premier League.[4] On 5 December 2010, defender Shamil Burziyev died in a car accident, aged 25.[8]

Modern history (2011–)

Cameroonian striker Samuel Eto'o is currently the team's captain

On 18 January 2011, the club was purchased by Dagestani billionaire Suleyman Kerimov, but later it was revealed that the President of Dagestan, Magomedsalam Magomedov met Kerimov and gave him a 100% stake in the club, including 50% of the shares of the former owner of the club Igor Yakovlev, in exchange for financial support.[9] Kerimov is planning to invest over $200 million in infrastructure, of which a substantial amount will go in building a new stadium with a capacity of more than 40,000 spectators, which will meet all UEFA requirements.[10]

Kerimov's investment was immediate as the club made signings in the 2011 Winter transfer window . The first significant signing came on 16 February, when the club announced the free transfer of Brazilian left-back Roberto Carlos, a World Cup winner in 2002.[11] Further signings included €10 million on another Brazilian, the former Corinthians midfielder Jucilei da Silva[12] and €8 million on Moroccan winger Mbark Boussoufa from Anderlecht. Boussoufa's transfer was finalised in the last minute of the window, on 10 March.[13]

In summer 2011, the club signed the Hungarian Balázs Dzsudzsák, who signed a four-year deal to transfer for a reported €14 million.[14] Anzhi also bought Russian midfielder Yuri Zhirkov from Chelsea for a similar fee.[15] On 23 August 2011, Cameroonian striker Samuel Eto'o signed from Inter Milan for around €28 million, on a world-record €20.5 million annual salary.[16]

In February 2012 the club appointed the experienced Dutchman Guus Hiddink as a new manager,[17] after Yuri Krasnozhan's two-month-long spell in charge. Hiddink's first signing was Congolese defender Christopher Samba, joining for £12 million from Blackburn Rovers.[18]

On 30 January 2012, Roberto Carlos announced his plans to retire at the end of the season.[19] He ended his football career on 9 March and took up a role as the club's Director.[20]

On 10 October 2012, Anzhi opened a youth academy, the first in the Republic of Dagestan in order to develop youth talents to the first team. The academy is being run by Anzhi's Sporting Director Jelle Goes.[21]

Crest and colours

Anzhi badge from 2007 to 2009, the club went back to the original version in 2010

The club's crest includes yellow eagle in traditional Caucasian clothing with elements of Dagestani flag. It also includes 1991 which signifies the club's formation year.

The club names derrives from word called "Anji", meaning 'pearl' in the local Kumyk language, was also the ancient name for the land around where Makhachkala is situated.

Stadium

Anzhi plays at the Dynamo Stadium in Makhachkala.

Due to armed conflict in Dagestan, the club's players live and train in a village near Moscow, at a training base previously used by Saturn Moscow. The club fly in for home matches,[22][23] which have a heavy security presence.[24]

The club's 15,200-seat Dynamo Stadium was built in 1927,[25] and due to its facilities is not used in European competition, for which Anzhi use the Lokomotiv Stadium in Moscow. A high-priority goal of Kerimov when he purchased the club was the construction of a new 40,000 seater ground.[26][27]

Supporters

Anzhi get most of their support in the Northern Caucasian region, particularly from the city of Makhachkala. The club also enjoys support from fans scattered all over the Dagestan, and the local area in general.[28]

The club is hated by elements of supporters of Moscow clubs and Zenit St Petersburg, due to hatred of the club's wealth and North Caucasian identity.[29]

European competitions

Anzhi participated in the 2001–02 UEFA Cup. Their opponents were Rangers of Scotland. Instead of usual home-and-away fixtures, UEFA decided to hold a single match in a neutral venue (Warsaw) due to the unstable situation in neighbouring Chechnya. Rangers won the match 1–0. After finishing 5th in the 2011–12 Russian Premier League, Anzhi qualified for the group stage of the UEFA Europa League for the first time in the club's history, after eliminating Budapest Honvéd in the 2nd qualifying round, Vitesse in the 3rd qualifying round, and AZ Alkmaar in the play-off round.[30]
