The national team qualified for the 1986 World Cup but he was fired shortly before the World Cup started in favor of Valeriy Lobanovskyi. He also coached the Belarus national football team from 2000 to 2003.

Between 2004 and 2007 he worked in all three clubs associated with Vladimir Romanov's holding (Belarusian MTZ-RIPO Minsk, Lithuanian FBK Kaunas and Scottish Hearts^[3]) in various coaching and administrative positions.

In later years he coached Dynamo Saint Petersburg (whom he led to promotion to the Russian First Division in 2009^[4]), Shakhtyor Soligorsk and Pskov-747.
