Forward of Perm "Amkar" Alexander Salugin: biography and career path

Annually, CSKA Moscow releases from its schools a few hundred pupils, but not everyone can play up. Someone does not have the patience and skill, someone can not find their club, but there are those who manage to get into the Premier League team. One of these players is Alexander Salugin, who plays for Perm "Amkar".

The first steps in the Premier League

Alexander Sergeyevich Salugin was born on October 23, 1988 in Moscow. During schooling, his parents gave him to the sports section at the club "Red October", in which the future footballer trained for 6 years. In 2002, Alexander changed the football academy, moving to the Youth in the capital CSKA Moscow, where he studied with some of the best coaches.

As a result, in 2005 the strikers began to attract the main staff to trainings, and in June the big debut of Salugin took place. Within the semifinals of the UEFA Cup the Russian player was replaced in the match against Parma. Thanks to this appearance on the field, Alexander won the title of the owner of the prestigious European Cup, and soon made his debut in the Russian championship. On September 18th of the same season, the striker played 12 minutes in a match against "Saturn", and in the final match of the Premier League 2004/2005 he was also noted for the first goal scored for CSKA Moscow, scoring a goal against "Alania", which became victorious for Muscovites in this meeting .

In the next season, the coaching staff did not count on a promising player, and Alexander Salugin went on the field only to replace. As a result, having made one more attempt to start playing at the base in 2006, the next season the striker held in the Ivanovo "Tekstilshchik" on loan. After returning to CSKA Moscow, the player did not renew the agreement with the club, but after receiving an offer from Leonid Slutsky to play for the "Wings of the Soviets", he changed the team.

Invitation from Slutsky

The 19-year-old liked the coach of the Samara club, and during the 2008 championship Alexander Salugin regularly went on the field and took part in 17 meetings.

But due to the lack of heads the position of the attacker in the structure of the base became less reliable. As a result, having played 4 more "dry" matches in 2009, in summer, the player was given a lease on the decision of the club's management. The talent of the Russian hoped "Rostov", agreed to accept Salugin for six months. However, as part of the "southerners" Alexander could not prove himself. Returning to the "Wings of the Soviets" with zero goals for 6 games, in the summer of 2010 the player left the club.

Nizhny Novgorod career period

Find a new team Alexander Salugin was able to quickly enough. In 2010, he signed an agreement with the "Volga" for three years. Nizhny Novgorod required strengthening to enter the Premier League, but to achieve the goal the team could and without the help of Salugin. The Russian only once went on the field in the FNL. In early 2011, the contract with the striker was ready to sign the Kazakhstan "Tobol", but at the last moment the deal broke down and the player was sent to rent to another Nizhny Novgorod club - "Nizhny Novgorod".

The new team of Salugin only went to the First Division, and she needed to be strengthened by experienced and inexpensive players. And as part of the "townspeople" Alexander, finally, was able to interrupt his "dry" series, which lasted several years. For the season he took part in 39 meetings of the championship, scoring 9 goals, and helped the team to break into the play-offs for the right to play in the Premier League. But to return to the Russian elite with Nizhny Novgorod, Alexander Salugin failed - in the "junction" was more "Volga", and in June 2012, both clubs merged into one.

Returning to the "Volzhan", Salugin was able to break into the main line-up and played 16 games in the season. But the presence of only one goal scored during this time buried the chances of the striker to extend the contract with the club. And in the summer of 2013 the Russian left the team.

Returning to Moscow

As a result of leaving the "Volga", Alexander Salugin again found himself in Moscow. In the services of the forward was interested in "Torpedo", signed with the player two-year contract. In the 2013/2014 season, the Moscow Region club played in the FNL, and the player's experience was really needed for the team. The Russian was able to prove himself, although he was not happy with the high performance of the "avtozavodtsev" fans. But 3 goals scored for the season Salugin brought "black and white" three important points in a duel with "Mordovia", thanks to which the team was able to play in the play-offs.

And Alexander's time came again in key games - it was his exact blow that became decisive in the fight for a place in the Premier League, and "Torpedo", after 8 years, returned to the Russian elite. But the return was at the same time a problem for the striker - for the same 18 matches of the Russian championship, Salugin was able only once to be awarded a productive strike, bringing the team a victory in the match against "Rostov". At the end of the contract, the player left the Moscow Region club.

Going to "Amkar"

In the summer of 2015 it became known that Salugin Alexander trains at the training camps of the Perm "Amkar". The footballer was able to prove himself well, and the club management offered the player a two-year contract. As part of Perm, the Russian appeared on the field quite often. In his first season he played in 22 games, scoring three goals. But, even with more productive players in reserve, Amkar's coaching staff continued to hope for a second respiration from the player, trusting him as the main reserve forward.

As a result, for the first half of the season 2016/2017 Salugin was able to play in 11 meetings, scoring only once. His accurate shot brought the team a victory over "Tomyu". Now the attacker is 28 years old, and his future, according to experts, is rather vague. To continue the game at a high level, the player should prove himself in the second half of the current championship.

Personal life

About his personal life, the striker rarely tells reporters. However, in 2013 FC "Torpedo" published on its website a large interview in which all the secrets revealed by Alexander Salugin. Biography of the footballer at that time was very interested in his fans.

In Alexander's life there were constant moving, so his parents - the doctor of sciences Svetlana Olegovna and businessman Sergei Vladislavovich, the striker helped settle near Zelenograd. The player has a wife Victoria, with whom Salugin is familiar since 2007. In 2013, young people officially registered their relationship and became a family. In addition to football, the hockey and active tourism are classified as hobbies for the sportsman, however in the near future it is not going to change the sphere of activity.
