Dmitri Nikolayevich Cheryshev (Russian: Дми́трий Никола́евич Че́рышев; born 11 May 1969) is a Russian professional football manager and a former forward who is the manager of Shinnik Yaroslavl.
During his 16-year senior career, he was mainly associated with Dynamo Moscow (four seasons) and Sporting de Gijón (five). He was nicknamed the Bullet from Gorki, due to his speed.[1]
In 1996, Cheryshev scored a career-best 17 goals with Dynamo, who eventually finished fourth. Subsequently, he moved to Spain and signed for Sporting de Gijón, where he would share teams with several compatriots;[1][2] he made his debut in La Liga on 17 November 1996, playing 30 minutes in a 2–4 home loss against Athletic Bilbao[3]– the Asturians would be relegated at the end of the 1997–98 season.
Cheryshev continued to net regularly for Sporting in his division two spell. He ended his career also in the country, after one-season stints with Burgos (second tier) and Real Aranjuez (amateurs).[4]
On 21 September 2021, Cheryshev was named head coach of AFC Eskilstuna in Sweden, he was their coach for three hours until he left his first and only training - the barrier of language was a big problem and he felt he couldn't change that much in the club as he wanted.[11]
On 9 August 2022, Cheryshev was hired as the manager of Santa Coloma in Andorra.[12] Under his management, Santa Coloma became the first Andorran club to win two qualifying rounds in UEFA competition (2023–24 UEFA Europa Conference League).
