Anatoly Fyodorovich Krutikov (Russian: Анатолий Фёдорович Крутиков; 21 September 1933 – 8 November 2019) was a Russian footballer and manager.

Club career

Krutikov played in nearly 300 Soviet league matches for FC Spartak Moscow, winning the Soviet Top League in 1962 and the Soviet Cup in 1963 and 1965.[1]

He earned 9 caps for the USSR national football team, and participated in the first ever European Nations' Cup in 1960, where the Soviets were champions. He was selected for the 1964 European Nations' Cup squad, but did not play in any games at the tournament.

He has the dubious distinction of being the only FC Spartak Moscow coach to get the team relegated from the top division in USSR or Russia (in 1976).

On 8 November 2019, FC Spartak Moscow announced that Krutikov had died.[2]
