Fyodor Cherenkov (Russian: Фёдор Фёдорович Черенко́в) (born July 25, 1959 in Moscow) is a Soviet and Russian football midfielder who played for Spartak Moscow (1977-90 and 1991-94) and Red Star Football Club (1990-91).
Cherenkov made 34 appearances for USSR national football team, scoring 12 goals. Although widely regarded by Spartak's fans as team's best player ever, he was always dropped by the national team on the eve of several major tournaments including 2 World Cups and a European Championship.[citation needed] He was incredible passer and was also great at shooting the ball and scored many goals. Currently Cherenkov works as a coach of Spartak's reserves team.
