Former USSR striker Dobrovolsky named Moldova coach
Former USSR striker Igor Dobrovolsky was promoted to head coach of Moldova's
national team on Friday.
Dobrovolsky, who was assistant to Moldova coach Anatoly Teslev, replaces
the fellow former Soviet international, who resigned on Friday after Moldova's
disappointing start to their UEFA EURO 2008 qualifying campaign. Moldova
remain bottom of Group C with just a point from their first four matches.
Dobrovolsky, 39, who started his playing career with Nistru Chisinau in
the mid-1980s, also played for Dynamo Moscow, Olympique Marseille, Atletico
Madrid and Italy's Genoa as well as various clubs in Germany and Switzerland.
He was a member of the USSR that won the gold medal at the 1988 Seoul
Olympics and also played for the Soviets at the 1990 FIFA World Cup in
Italy.
Ukraine-born Dobrovolsky then represented Russia at the UEFA European
Championship finals in 1992 and 1996 following the Soviet break-up at
the end of 1991.
