Levan Korgalidze

Levan Korgalidze (; born 21 February 1980), also spelled as Korghalidze, is a Georgian professional football manager and former player who played as a midfielder. He was most recently in charge of Erovnuli Liga club Dila.

Korgalidze played regularly for the Georgia national under-21 team. His debut call-up to the national team was in 2003.

He is the son of Otar Korghalidze.

Coaching career Korgalidze started his coaching career in 2017 at Saburtalo Tbilisi at youth level. In the summer of 2018, he joined Locomotive Tbilisi as assistant manager and head coach of U15s. In April 2019, following some unsatisfactory results, Locomotive fired their manager, replacing him with Korgalidze. Under his leadership, the team not only climbed out of the drop zone, but also qualified for a UEFA European competition for the first time since 2008.

In early March 2020, the Erovnuli Liga season was suspended due to COVID-19 with Locomotive on top of the table after initial two rounds. By the time the matches resumed in July, the sides had parted ways at the club when a disagreement arose over the planned 70% cut of salaries.

In September 2020, Korgalidze returned to Saburtalo as a head coach. The next year, he guided the team to the Georgian Cup title, but left the club by mutual agreement on 8 June 2022.

In November 2023, Korgalidze was appointed as a manager at Kazakhstan Premier League club Zhenis, who had just won the promotion from the First Division. On 21 May 2024, he left the club by mutual consent.

Six weeks later Korgalidze was appointed at Saburtalo for the third time with the club renamed as Iberia 1999. His club was in crisis after losing seven out of eight matches across all competitions, but Korgalidze managed to rectify the situation and lead Iberia 1999 to their second champion's title in six years. He was named Manager of the Year by the Football Federation on 10 December 2024.

Korgalidze left the club on 31 July 2025 after a six-game winless run across all competitions which included a premature exit from the European season, although his team had at the same time achieved a thirty-game unbeaten run in the league.

On 13 May 2026, Korgalidze was appointed at Dila where he had ended his career as a player twelve years earlier. After four matches in charge, the club announced his departure citing his health condition as a reason.
