About Igor Semshov

Igor Petrovich Semshov is a Russian professional football coach and a former player. Russia fell at the first round and Semshov only played in the last match, which many felt was a poor decision. Semshov graduated from the CSKA academy in 1996, but was unable to hold a starting place and left for Torpedo Moscow in 1998 after only two seasons.
