Giorgi (Gia) Tsetsadze (Georgian: გია ცეცაძე, born on 3 September 1974) is a Georgian football manager. Most recently he was the head coach of Telavi.

Career

In 2011 Tsetsadze led FC Dila Gori to gain promotion to the Georgia top division (Umaglesi Liga). In 2013 he managed the Georgia national under-19 football team qualifying with it for the 2013 UEFA European Under-19 Championship. It was the second time the team qualified for such tournament and the first time since organization was shifted from under-18 competition to under-19.

In 2016 along with FC Samtredia Tsetsadze became a winning head coach in the Georgian national league and the first national title for the club.

In June 2020 Tsetsadze was placed at the head of the FC Lviv coaching staff.[1] He will be helped by Vitaliy Shumskyi and Ihor Rypnovskyi.[2]

Earlier in 2020 Tsetsadze resigned from the manager post of Saburtalo Tbilisi before the start of the 2020 Erovnuli Liga.[3]

His next managerial stints were similarly short, although both at Torpedo Kutaisi and Telavi he successfully coped with survival tasks.[4][5]
