Playing career edit
Huseynov was born in Buynaksk, Dagestan ASSR, Soviet Union, now within Dagestan, Russia, to a Kumyk father and Ukrainian mother. In 1970 Huseynov with his family moved to Pervomaysk, Ukrainian SSR.
Huseynov holds many firsts in Ukrainian soccer history, including being the first player to score 100 goals in official matches in Ukraine. He is also one of the all-time leading scorers in the Ukrainian Premier League with 85 goals in 215 matches. Though long retired from the national side and with only 14 caps to show for four years of service (between 1993 and 1997), Huseynov is the #10 all-time scorer (as of 31 January 2012) in the Ukraine national team's history with 8 goals.
Coaching career edit
After retiring from playing Huseynov began coaching at the last club he played, Signal. It's an amateur club from Odesa. He coached them from 2004 to 2007, winning the Odesa Oblast Cup in the process. In February 2007 he was hired as an assistant coach with FC Dniester Ovidiopol. In 2008, he moved into the administrative side of the club, becoming Dniester’s sporting director.[1]
