The Beginning of my coaching career

Starkov Aleksandr Petrovich

Alexander Starkov – coach in 35 years, it sounded very impressive, but the then coach of the club has shown too good results, in order to replace it. So Starks took the position of his assistant, where he stayed for two years. When he realized that “the river” he is waiting for nothing, he accepted an offer from the Soccer Union of Latvia and headed the youth national team in an age category till 21 year. He coached for one year and found that a capable of much. That is why in 1993 he received an offer from the Riga club “cash discount” which he chaired.

Success with “cash discount”

Alexander Starkov coach

The stark player did for Latvia very much. In particular, we are talking about what he gave to his club. "Daugava" (Riga) Starkova never before and never after him did not know such an incredible striker. However, not always a successful player turns into a successful coach. Fortunately, in the case of Alexander Petrovich it turned out really well. In 1993, he headed the “cash discount” and then he won the championship of Latvia. Twelve years the Starks were headed “cash discount”, and twelve times the club won the championship of Latvia. In addition, six times he was able to also take the Latvian Cup, twice he won the Cup of Livonia. And almost all this time in parallel Starks played the role of assistant coach in the national team of Latvia. He was invited back in 1995, but he went only in 2001. During this time he has worked with five different trainers, but none of them was able to lead the team to a new level. In 2001, stark tried his hand as a chief coach of the national team, still combining this activity with a coaching job in “cash discount”, and in 2004, when he left the club, he left and the team.

The Period ‘Spartacus»

Starks football player

Alexander Starks has gone from “cash discount” and the national team of Latvia is not just – he was offered a job in the Russian «Spartacus», the team, which during the Soviet Union was one of the strongest. But now the club was already not so daunting, and the leadership hoped that the new coach will breathe new life into it. Unfortunately, expectations were not fulfilled – stark, of course, managed in 2005 to finish the championship of Russia in second place, and in 2006 to get the club to the semifinals of the Cup of Russia, the leadership that was clearly not enough. So after only two years at the club, the Starks returned home.

Return to Latvia

Daugava Riga

In March 2007, Alexander Starks accepted the offer of the Football Union of Latvia and again led the national team. He coped well, showed not the worst result, however, could not achieve what was achieved no one before him. For all time at the helm of Starks couldn't get a single impressive victory, overcoming only Luxembourg, Malta and other such teams. And in 2013, when he managed four matches only two times a draw and lost twice, and then was defeated by Bosnia and Herzegovina 0:5, Starks resignedcoach.

But in 2009, while he was still working in the team, he was again invited Riga “cash discount”, which he led to 12 out of 12 victories in the championship of Latvia in the past. This time to win failed: in 2009, Starks was able to get “cash discount” the crisis only in third place, and in the next helped the team to win the Baltic League and reach the Cup final Livonia.

After that, Starks is headed by Azerbaijani "Baku", which spent a year and a half. When he left the first "Baku", and then the national team of Latvia, many believed he would walk away from the sport. But after three years of break, the Starks returned to assist the new coach of the Latvian national team Mariana Plowman, with whom he worked for nine games.
