Badri Kvaratskhelia (Georgian: ბადრი კვარაცხელია, romanized: badri k'varatskhelia; born 15 February 1965) is a Georgian former professional footballer who played as a forward. He is the father of current Napoli player Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

Playing career

[edit]

In early 1990s, Kvaratskhelia spent three seasons at this hometown team Skuri in the second tier of the Georgian football league system before he joined reigning top-tier champions Dinamo Tbilisi for one year. In 1997, he moved to Azerbaijani club Kapaz Ganja, who claimed both the league title and the national cup that season.[1]

The next year Kvaratskhelia signed for Shamkir and became the league top scorer in the 1999–2000 season. On 19 July 2000, he scored a hat-trick in a Champions Cup qualifier against Skonto Riga.[2]

In 2000, he received an Azerbaijani citizenship[citation needed] and made his debut for the Azerbaijan national team in a 0–0 draw against Georgia.[3] Later he played two more international matches.

Kvaratskhelia ended his playing career in 2005 and returned to Georgia.

Coaching career

[edit]

After completing coaching courses, Kvaratskhelia initially worked as assistant manager at Sioni Bolnisi, who won the league title in 2006. In early 2009, he took over the managerial position at now-defunct Azerbaijani side Standard Sumgayit.[4]

On 22 September 2015, Kvaratskhelia was appointed as the manager of Guria Lanchkhuti.[5] It didn't last for long, because on 6 October 2015, he was then appointed as the manager of Merani Martvili.[6]

In April 2018, Kvaratskhelia became the manager of Samtredia.[7] He resigned at the end of the season.[8] From February until 22 April 2019, he was the manager of Rustavi.[9]

Shortly, due to a heart surgery, Kvaratskhelia had to prematurely retire.[10]
