Yuri Farzunovich Gazzaev (Russian: Юрий Фарзунович Газзаев, Ossetian: Гæззаты Фарзуны фырт Юри; born 27 November 1960) is a Russian professional football coach and a former player.
As a player, he made his debut in the Soviet First League in 1978 for Spartak Ordzhonikidze.[1]
He signed for French club Niort on a fake paperwork, pretending he was 9 years younger than he actually was (his birth year was changed from 1960 to 1969). He was released a few months later after the fraud was discovered.[2]
His son Ruslan Gazzayev was a professional footballer.[1]
