[edit] History

It was founded in August 12, 1923 as Club of the October Revolution, was renamed to Kazanka (Moskovskaya-Kazanskaya Zh.D) in 1931, and eventually to Lokomotiv in 1936. During the Communist rule, Lokomotiv Moscow club was a part of the Lokomotiv Voluntary Sports Society and it was owned by the Soviet Ministry of Transportation through the Russian Railways.

Lokomotiv won the Russian Premier League in 2002 (ending Spartak Moscow domination) and in 2004, the USSR Cup in 1936 and 1957, and the Russian Cup in 1996, 1997, 2000, 2001 and 2007. The club was the runner-up in 1959, 1995, 1999, 2000 and 2001, and finished third in 1994, 1998, 2005 and 2006. Lokomotiv was the Russian Super Cup holder in 2003 and 2005.

In the beginning of 1990s Lokomotiv was considered the "weakest link" among top Moscow clubs. It lacked both results on the pitch and fans support in the stands. But head coach Yuri Semin and president Valeri Filatov were able to put the club's progress on a right track. Permanenty solid performances in domestic league and several memorable campaigns in European Cups made Lokomotiv a superclub by Russian scales. In 2002 a new stadium was completed, the arena still being one of the most, if not the most, modern and comfortable in Eastern Europe. This gave a huge boost to a club's fan growth rate. Nowadays, the average attendance of Lokomotiv home games is one of the highest in Moscow.

In 2002 a "golden match" was needed to decide who will be the champion, as Lokomotiv Moscow and PFC CSKA Moscow both finished with the same amount of points after Gameweek 30. The game was played at Dynamo stadium in front of the sold-out crowd. Lokomotiv took an early lead with a low drive from captain Dmitry Loskov. It turned out to be enough for the first title in club history.

In 2004 Lokomotiv Moscow won the Russian Premier League by a single point over city rivals CSKA Moscow. Lokomotiv won the championship by defeating Shinnik Yaroslavl 2-0 in Yaroslavl, a week after CSKA slipped up against city rivals Dynamo Moscow at home.

Lokomotiv reached Cup Winners' Cup semifinals twice (in 1997/1998 and 1998/1999). The club also played in the 2nd group stage of the Champions league in 2002/2003 season and lost by the away goal in the Champions League last 16 tie against AS Monaco FC in 2004. These were the best achievements of the club in the European cups so far.

In 2005 their head coach for many years, Yuri Semin, left them to coach the Russian national team and was replaced by Vladimir Eshtrekov. In December 2005 Serbian coach Slavoljub Muslin took over from Eshtrekov.

In the 2005 season, Lokomotiv were leading the league for most of the year, but stumbled in the last games and let CSKA overtake them, ultimately finishing 3rd. In the 2006 season they came 3rd in the league after a poor start. Their recent stars have been star forward Dmitri Sytchev and Captain Dmitri Loskov (now gone). After the team finished 7th place in 2007, Board of Directors decided to sack coach Anatoly Byshovets and president Yury Semin. Rinat Bilyaletdinov acted as a caretaker coach till December 6, 2007, when Lokomotiv brought Rashid Rakhimov from Amkar on a three year contract. On April 28, 2009 Lokomotiv fired Rakhimov and installed long-time serving player Vladimir Maminov as a Caretaker manager. On May 29, Lokomotiv appointed fan-favourite Yuri Semin.
