Zaur Zalimbiyevich Khapov (Russian: Заур Залимбиевич Хапов; born 21 October 1964) is a Russian football coach and a former goalkeeper who won two international caps for Russia in 1994. He is the assistant manager of FC Lokomotiv Moscow.

Club career

He was Alania Vladikavkaz's goalkeeper during their Russian league title-winning season of 1995.

International career

Khapov played his first game for Russia on 29 January 1994 in a 1–1 draw in a friendly against the United States in Seattle. He also played in another friendly against Mexico in Oakland four days later, which Russia won 4–1.

Managing career

On 4 April 2022, he was appointed manager of FC Lokomotiv Moscow. As Lokomotiv's sporting director Thomas Zorn commented at the time, Khapov was appointed as he possesses the necessary UEFA A Licence and most of the manager duties will continue to be performed by Marvin Compper who does not have such a licence and therefore can not be formally registered with the league as a manager.[1] On 30 June 2022, Josef Zinnbauer was appointed head coach of Lokomotiv, with Khapov continuing to work at the club.[2]
