On 18 January 2011, Anzhi Makhachkala was purchased by billionaire Suleyman Kerimov,〔(【引用サイトリンク】RIA Novosti">url=http://sport.rian.ru/sport/20110118/323273254.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Five Reasons You Should Look Out for Anzhi Makhachkala )〕 and subsequently made numerous high-profile signings, including those of striker Samuel Eto'o and manager Guus Hiddink. Following severe budget cuts ahead of the 2013–14 Russian Premier League season, the club lost most of its key players and went on to finish bottom of the table, which resulted in relegation to the Russian National Football League at the end of the season, returning at the first attempt. ==History== The club was founded in 1991 by former Dinamo Makhachkala player Magomed-Sultan Magomedov, then head of Dagnefteprodukt, and took part in its first season in the Dagestan League the same year. They ended up as league champions with an unbeaten record and 16 wins out of 20 matches.〔(История футбольного клуба «АНЖИ» ) 〕 Due to the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the club entered Zone 1 of the Russian Second Division (the third-highest tier) in 1992〔 and finished in 5th place. The club won their Group in 1993, but due to league reorganisation were not promoted, and remained in the new Western Zone of the third tier until a second-place finish in 1996 guaranteed promotion to the First Division,〔The First Division, currently named ''Football Championship of the National League'', is the second level of Russian professional football.〕 under the coaching of Eduard Malofeev.〔 A key player in Anzhi's early history was Azerbaijani international forward Ibragim Gasanbekov, who was the team's top scorer in all of their first seven seasons. He was league top scorer in 1993 (30 goals) and 1996 (33 goals). In 1999 Anzhi won the First Division, and were thus promoted to the Russian Premier League for the first time.〔 The side missed out on a bronze-medal finish on the last day of the season, as they conceded a last-minute Torpedo penalty which took their opponents into third place.〔(Энциклопедия футбола:Анжи ) 〕 On 20 June 2001, the club played in the final of the Russian Cup for the first time, losing to Lokomotiv on penalties after a 1–1 draw.〔 Anzhi finished 15th and were relegated from the Premier League in 2002, but during their first season back in the First Division they reached the semi-finals of the Russian Cup where they lost 1–0 to Rostov.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Russia Cup 2002/03 )〕 In their seventh season in the First Division, Anzhi won the league and returned to the Premier League.〔 On 5 December 2010, defender Shamil Burziyev died in a car accident, aged 25.〔(Погиб Шамиль Бурзиев ) – Sport Express 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「FC Anzhi Makhachkala」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
