'''Yuri Pavlovich Semin''' ({{lang-ru|Юрий Павлович Сёмин}}; born 11 May 1947) is a [[Russia]]n [[football (soccer)|football]] [[Coach (sport)|coach]] who works as a manager for [[Russian Football Premier League]] side [[FC Lokomotiv Moscow|Lokomotiv Moscow]].

==Biography==
Semin was born on 11 May 1947 in [[Orenburg]]. His family moved to [[Oryol]] some time later. As a child he has showed interest in [[football (soccer)|football]], [[ice hockey]], [[volleyball]], and [[Athletics (track and field)|athletics]]. His son [[Andrei Semin]] is also a player and a coach.

==Player career==
At the age of 16, while still attending school, Semin started his player career at [[Spartak Oryol]], a [[Soviet Second League]] club.

One year later he was invited to [[FC Spartak Moscow|Spartak Moscow]]. He has scored two first Spartak's goals in a European competition (in 1966 against [[OFK Beograd]]).

At the age of 20, Semin changed club again, this time to [[FC Dynamo Moscow|Dynamo Moscow]]. With this club, he won his only player's trophy, the 1970 [[Soviet Cup]]. He calls the spell with Dynamo the most successful period of his player career.

Semin left Dynamo due to disagreements with the coach after he was not fielded in a European match. After that he has changed several other clubs. Semin played for [[FC Kairat|Kairat Almaty]], [[FC Chkalovets Novosibirsk|Chkalovets Novosibirsk]], [[FC Lokomotiv Moscow|Lokomotiv Moscow]], and [[FC Kuban Krasnodar|Kuban Krasnodar]]. He ended his career as a player at the age of 33.

==Coach career==
Semin started his coaching career in 1983, when he was called to save [[Pamir Dushanbe]], a [[Soviet First League|First League]] team, from relegation. Semin succeeded and was recognized as the honorary coach of [[Tajik SSR]] for this achievement.

In 1986 Semin went on to coach [[FC Lokomotiv Moscow]], where he spent 19 years. During the period of his work Lokomotiv transformed from a mid-table club to one of the leaders of Russian football, winning the [[Russian Premier League|championship]] in 2002 and 2004. Semin also enjoyed cup success, winning [[Russian Cup (football)|Russian Cup]] five times, [[Russian Super Cup]] twice and reaching [[Cup Winners' Cup]] semifinal twice.

In 2005 Semin left Lokomotiv for the [[Russia national football team|Russia national team]] to help it reach the [[2006 FIFA World Cup]] final tournament. He failed to achieve that and decided to leave the national team. In November 2005, Semin began coaching [[FC Dynamo Moscow|Dynamo Moscow]], but was sacked in 2006. In 2007, he returned to [[FC Lokomotiv Moscow]] as club president, but one year later his contract was terminated due to team's low league position.<ref>http://www.sports.ru/football/3670748.html</ref>

Later in 2007 Semin took over the managerial position with [[FC Dynamo Kyiv]] in [[Ukraine]] and guided the club to a championship in the [[Ukrainian Premier League 2008-09|2008-09]] season as well as a semi-final appearance in the [[UEFA Cup 2008-09|UEFA Cup]].

On 26 May 2009 he quit [[FC Dynamo Kyiv]] and returned to [[FC Lokomotiv Moscow]]. Under the terms of his contract, he should stay in the club until December 2011. Semin replaced Rashid Rakhimov (who had been fired a few weeks before that). He was fired as Lokomotiv manager on November 29, 2010. On 24 December 2010, he signed a new contract with Dynamo Kyiv ending in 2012.<ref>[http://sport.rian.ru/sport/20101130/302786262.html Глава ФК "Локомотив" подтвердила уход Семина с поста главного тренера]</ref>
