Valeri Abramidze

Valeri Abramidze (; born 17 January 1980) is a former Georgian footballer. He also holds Russian citizenship.

Spartak Moscow Abramidze joined FC Spartak Moscow during summer 2002, signing a 5-year contract. He made 15 league appearances for Spartak, and 4 2002 UEFA Champions League as well, scoring no goals.

Being loaned out to FC Uralan Elista in 2003, he left Spartak for FC Khimki in 2004.

Khazar scandal During 2007 summer mid-season, Abramidze had major issues leaving FK Khazar Lenkoran. While Abramidze was sure he had signed a one-year contract in 2006 and was now a free agent, FK Khazar Lenkoran authorities told him that he'd signed a contract that was 2-year long. The problem seemed to be with contract in Azeri language while Abramidze did not know Azeri and had not had a translated version.

As a result, Abramidze had lost a lot of time while trying to be transferred to Anzhi, so the club could not include him into the signing list for Russian First Division in 2007. That's why Abramidze was out of football from September 2007 to the season 2008.

Coach In May 2022, Valeri Abramidze was appointed as a caretaker coach at Rustavi for a few weeks. The next five months he worked at the club as an assistant head coach before becoming an interim head coach in early November 2022.
