Ivan Konov

One of the participants of the legendary attack of Dynamo in the early 1950s. He moved from Spartak Moscow already as a great master. A fast, goal-oriented forward with a powerful shot with both feet, thanks to which he scored a lot. He was not distinguished by an artistic style of play, but he flawlessly carried out the coach's instructions and superbly participated in the combination play of the white-blues.

A universal attacking player on the flank and half-flank positions. He had tactical training and a well-practiced shot, thanks to which he often completed the team's goal combinations, moving from his flank to the center. He skillfully played with partners and developed Dynamo's attacks from his half of the field.

He ended his career at Dynamo quite early due to a serious injury in 1952. After receiving a higher education, he worked as a coach of children's teams and second-tier teams. In the 1970s, he headed the Tehran club Persepolis, with which he took second place in the Iranian championship. He was a successful coach for young football players.
