Varlam Kilasonia (born 13 August 1967) is a Georgian professional football manager and former player who is the head coach of Liga 2 club Rustavi.
As a player, Varlam Kilasonia spent 17 years in four different countries.
He started his managerial career at Olimpi Rustavi in 2006.
Twice in a row, in 2016 and 2017, he led the newly created football club Rustavi to championship titles in the second tier, which in the second case implied automatic promotion to Erovnuli Liga.[1]
Following three spells with this club, from July 2020 to June 2021 Kilasonia was in charge of Sioni Bolnisi,[2] where he was named the best manager in the first phase of the season.[3]
In late July 2022 he was announced as head coach of Merani Martvili.[4] After his departure from this club at the end of this season, Kilasonia returned to Rustavi in February 2023. [5]
His brother Giorgi Kilasonia played for the Georgia national football team.
