'''Marians Pahars''' (born 5 August 1976) is a [[Latvia]]n professional [[Association football|football]] [[Manager (association football)|manager]] and a former player.<ref>{{Soccerway|marians-pahars/29662}}</ref>

As a player, he spent the majority of his career operating as a [[Striker (association football)|striker]] for [[Association football in England|English]] club [[Southampton F.C.|Southampton]], where he played in the [[Premier League]] and the [[EFL Championship|Championship]], the latter of which he played during his final season for the club. Furthermore, he had two spells at [[Skonto FC|Skonto]] in the [[Latvian Higher League]]. He also made 75 appearances for the [[Latvia national football team|Latvia national team]], scoring 15 goals over an eleven-year period.

Having retired from football, Pahars entered a career in coaching, starting as assistant at Skonto, which resulted in his first appointment as a manager. He went on to manage Latvia at the [[Latvia national under-21 football team|under-21]] and senior level, before returning to club management with [[FK Jelgava|Jelgava]].

His [[Latvian language|Latvian]] given name is ''Marians''; however, he was generally known as ''Marian'' during his career in England.

==Club career==

===Skonto===
Born in [[Chornobai]] in [[Ukrainian SSR|Ukraine]] to Latvian parents, Pahars grew up supporting [[FC Spartak Moscow|Spartak Moscow]]. When he was about eight years old, [[Jurijs Andrejevs]], a coach from [[Skonto F.C.|Skonto]] visited his school, as a result of which Pahars decided to play football. Andrejevs was to have a major influence on Pahars’ football career.

At 18, he signed for [[Dinamo Riga|Pardaugava Riga]] moving on to Skonto Metāls and then into the [[Skonto F.C.|Skonto]] first-team in 1995. He started playing as a [[midfielder]], usually on the wings, before moving into a striker's role.

His best goal ratio came in 1995, when he scored eight in nine games, which he followed up with 12 goals in 28 games the following season, as he became a regular in the [[Latvia national football team|Latvia national team]]. In his prime, he was dubbed the "Latvian [[Michael Owen]]".

In the 1998 season, he scored 19 goals in 26 games for Skonto, and his progress was attracting attention from bigger clubs; he had trials with [[Salernitana Calcio 1919|Salernitana]] (Italy), [[Werder Bremen]] (Germany) and [[FC Red Bull Salzburg|Casino Salzburg]] (Austria), but he was recommended to Southampton's manager [[Dave Jones (football manager)|Dave Jones]] by [[Gary Johnson (footballer, born 1955)|Gary Johnson]] – the manager of the Latvian national team.

===Southampton===
He had a trial in a reserve team match against [[Oxford United]] on 10 February 1999 in which he scored a perfect [[hat-trick]] – a header and a goal with each foot in a 7–1 victory.

Southampton agreed a fee with [[Skonto F.C.|Skonto]] of around £800,000 and, despite difficulties in obtaining a work permit and objections from the [[Professional Footballers' Association]], these problems were overcome and he joined the Saints in March 1999, thus becoming the first Latvian to play in the [[FA Premier League|Premier League]].

He finally made his debut as a 70th-minute substitute away to [[Coventry City F.C.|Coventry City]] on 5 April 1999, with his home debut at [[The Dell (Southampton)|The Dell]] coming on 17 April, when he came off the bench to score the crucial equaliser – and almost got a winner – against [[Blackburn Rovers F.C.|Blackburn Rovers]] in a 3–3 draw. At this time, the Saints were desperately trying to survive in the Premier League, and had gone into the final game of the season needing a win to guarantee their place for a further season. Pahars scored twice in the 2–0 win over [[Everton F.C.|Everton]] at the Dell, thus securing the Saints’ status in the Premiership for the following season.

He made 33 appearances during the [[1999–2000 in English football|1999–00 season]], finishing as the club's top scorer with 13 goals. By now, [[Dave Jones (football manager)|Dave Jones]] had been replaced as manager by [[Glenn Hoddle]], who decided to move Pahars to a wide position, with the theory that he could scare the opposition, with his dribbling and pace, and provide for others as well as score himself.

After an impressive start to the [[2000–01 in English football|2000–01 season]] – finding the net six times as a striker, he returned to a deeper role, and his form slumped as a result. He was still a threat providing his teammates with opportunities, but his form was patchy and inconsistent and he only found the net three more times to take his tally for the season to nine goals.

After an indifferent start to the following season, he came off the bench to score the winner away to [[Bolton Wanderers F.C.|Bolton Wanderers]] on 15 September 2001. He scored at a regular rate over the next three months including the winner in a 1–0 victory over [[Charlton Athletic F.C.|Charlton Athletic]] on 24 November – the Saints' first win in their new [[St Mary's Stadium]].

Unfortunately, after the New Year, the goals dried up again, but he finished the season with his best total for the Saints of 16 goals in League and [[FA Cup]]. Pahars' 16 goals and 14 from strike partner [[James Beattie (footballer)|James Beattie]] meant that the duo had the second best strike rate in the Premiership.

In the summer of 2002, Pahars required a [[hernia]] operation, which forced him to miss the whole of pre-season and although he scored a penalty in a 1–0 home win over Everton on 11 September, he never fully recovered from his injury. His early season was rather stop-start and was not helped by the suspension for receiving a red card at home to [[Manchester City F.C.|Manchester City]] on 5 October. He then severely injured an ankle in November 2002, which kept him out for most of the rest of the season, with another operation on the eve of the [[2003 FA Cup final|FA Cup final]] to round off a miserable [[2002–03 in English football|2002–03 season]].

The start to the [[2003–04 in English football|2003–04 season]] was again hampered by injury and comebacks for the reserves were ruined by injury recurrences. He did manage to play the closing minutes, as Latvia claimed a place at [[UEFA Euro 2004|Euro 2004]]. With that as an added incentive to get himself fully fit, he found himself back in the Saints starting line up for three successive games, which all ended in victories. His first goal of the season – and in more than a year – came at home to local rivals [[Portsmouth F.C.|Portsmouth]] on 21 December 2003 in a 3–0 home win, when he curled a superb right footer into the bottom right corner.

After recovering from injury, he was then injured in [[2004–05 in English football|2004–05 pre-season]] in an away match at Swindon Town. A heavy, late tackle to the same ankle which had already undergone three operations<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2004/aug/05/newsstory.sport19 |title=Pahars injury woes continue | Football |work=The Guardian |date=4 August 2004 |access-date=18 December 2015}}</ref> ruled him out of the early part of the season. Comebacks for the reserves were promising, until problems flared up again, causing him to miss the whole of the season in frustrating circumstances, as the Saints were relegated after 28 years in the top flight of English Football.

His [[2005–06 in English football|2005–06 season]] was another frustrating one with injury after injury again seeing his comebacks ruined. He did make ten appearances during the season, scoring one goal, but it was not enough to save his Saints career, and, in May 2006, after seven years with 156 appearances and 45 goals for the club, it was announced that his contract with Southampton would not be renewed for the following season.

After the final game of the season, on 30 April 2006 Pahars took part in a 'lap of appreciation' by the Saints players around the St Mary's pitch, in an emotional goodbye for the player and many of the Southampton fans present.

===Later spells===
In [[July 2006 in sports|July 2006]] Pahars signed with [[Anorthosis Famagusta F.C.|Anorthosis Famagusta]], a [[Cyprus|Cypriot]] team managed by former Georgian International [[Temuri Ketsbaia]].

His injury problems were frequent during his stay at the club, and, as a result, in January 2008, he was released.
[[File:Marians Pahars.jpg|thumb|Pahars playing for [[Skonto F.C.|Skonto]] ]]
In 2008, he joined his former club [[Skonto F.C.|Skonto]], playing there for one season and helping the club reach good results in the national championship. After that season, he left Skonto, and joined [[FK Jūrmala-VV|Jūrmala]], finishing his career there with two games in the national championship.

==International career==
Pahars broke into the Latvia national team at the start of 1996, and made his debut on 12 March 1996 in a 1–0 friendly defeat away to [[Cyprus national football team|Cyprus]]. His first goal for his country came in his ninth match at home to [[Poland national football team|Poland]] in a 3–2 defeat also in a friendly on 17 February 1997.

On 2 September 2006, he returned to the Latvia national team for a match against [[Sweden men's national football team|Sweden]]. All in all, he played 75 times and scored 15 goals for Latvia.

Despite Latvia not qualifying for the [[FIFA World Cup|World Cup Finals]] they did have success in June 2001 when they beat [[Estonia national football team|Estonia]] and [[Lithuania national football team|Lithuania]], to lift the [[Baltic Cup (football)|Baltic Cup]], with Pahars scoring in both games. Pahars was then named [[Latvian Footballer of the Year]] for a third successive year in November 2001.

During a spell of injuries, he managed to play in the closing minutes as Latvia claimed a place in the [[Euro 2004|European Championships in 2004]] with a 2–2 draw in [[Turkey national football team|Turkey]] on 19 November 2003.

He again struggled for full fitness, before scoring his first goal for Latvia in a 3–1 friendly win over [[Kazakhstan national football team|Kazakhstan]] on 18 February – his first international goal since May 2002.

With so many injury problems over the season, he was a substitute for all three of 2004 UEFA Latvia's Group matches at [[UEFA Euro 2004|Euro 2004]], although he did taste the championships by coming off the bench in all three games.

==Managerial career==

===Skonto===
In 2010, Pahars accepted an offer to become [[Aleksandrs Starkovs]]' assistant at [[Skonto F.C.|Skonto]], alongside legendary [[Vitālijs Astafjevs]]. He became the champion of Latvia in 2010 once again, this time in an assistant manager's role.

In 2011, [[Aleksandrs Starkovs|Starkovs]] left for [[FK Baku|Baku]] in Azerbaijan and Pahars became the manager of the club.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lff.lv/lv/news/2011/janvaris/35/ |title=Latvijas futbola federācija |website=Lff.lv |access-date=18 December 2015}}</ref> Managing the club for two seasons, he helped the club win the [[Baltic League]] in 2011 and lift the [[Latvian Football Cup]], as well as finish as the runners-up of the [[Latvian Higher League]] in 2012.

In December 2012, Pahars left [[Skonto FC|Skonto]], being succeeded by [[Tamaz Pertia]].

===Latvia===
Pahars accepted the opportunity to return to coaching, when the offer from [[Latvian Football Federation|LFF]] allowed him to become the manager of [[Latvia national under-21 football team|Latvian under-21 national team]]. Not long after his appointment, on 11 July 2013, Pahars was promoted, becoming the manager of the [[Latvia national football team|nation's senior team]], shortly after [[Aleksandrs Starkovs]] vacated his position.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.transfermarketweb.com/?action=read&idsel=124686 |title=football - soccer transfer news and rumors |publisher=Transfer Market Web |date=16 July 2013 |access-date=18 December 2015 |archive-date=12 July 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180712024935/http://www.transfermarketweb.com/?action=read&idsel=124686 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

As manager, Pahars guided Latvia to the [[2014 Baltic Cup|2014]] and [[2016 Baltic Cup]]s.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://lff.lv/lv/latvijasizlases/nacionala/baltijaskauss/2014/speles/finals/latvialithuania/|title=Source on the 2014 Baltic Cup final|access-date=28 June 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://jalgpall.ee/news.php?st=style_fp.css&news_id=10050|title=Kinnitati Balti turniiri logo ja mängugraafik|publisher=[[Estonian Football Association]]|date=4 April 2016|language=et}}</ref> However, he failed to guide the nation to qualification to the [[FIFA World Cup]] for both the [[2014 FIFA World Cup|2014]] and [[2018 FIFA World Cup|2018]] tournaments, as well as failing for qualification to the [[UEFA European Championship]] for the [[UEFA Euro 2016|2016 tournament]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/european-qualifiers/teams/56558--latvia/|title=Latvia - European Qualifiers - UEFA.com|access-date=28 June 2020}}</ref>

===Jelgava===
Pahars returned to Latvian domestic football, taking charge of [[FK Jelgava|Jelgava]] ahead of their [[2018 Latvian Higher League]] campaign. He guided them to a sixth-place finish in his inaugural season in charge.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://int.soccerway.com/national/latvia/virsliga/2018/regular-season/r44854/|title=Summary - Virsliga - Latvia - Results, fixtures, tables and news - Soccerway|access-date=28 June 2020}}</ref>

In his second season in charge, Jelgava finished in seventh place in the [[Latvian Higher League]], a minor drop in a position from their previous league campaign, with Pahars departing the club at the end of that season.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.worldfootball.net/teams/fk-jelgava/2020/3/|title=FK Jelgava - Fixtures & Results 2019/2020|publisher=World Football|access-date=28 June 2020}}</ref>

===Siena===
On 26 January 2021, he was hired by Italian club [[A.C.N. Siena 1904|Siena]], which was in the fourth-tier [[Serie D]] at the time due to previous bankruptcy.<ref>{{cite web|publisher=[[A.C.N. Siena 1904|Siena]]|url=https://www.acnsiena.it/marian-pahars-e-il-nuovo-allenatore/|title=MARIAN PAHARS È IL NUOVO ALLENATORE|date=26 January 2021|language=it}}</ref> He resigned less than a month later, on 10 February, following a negative string of results.<ref>{{cite web|publisher=[[A.C.N.

==Outside football==
Pahars was a candidate for [[Honor to serve Riga|Honoured to serve Riga]] in the [[2020 Riga City Council election]], but was not elected.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sportacentrs.com/futbols/latvijas_izlase/20022020-latvijas_izlases_treneru_staba_ieklautais |title=Latvijas izlases treneru štābā iekļautais Pahars plāno startēt Rīgas domes ārkārtas vēlēšanās |trans-title=Pahars, the former Latvian national team coach, plans to run in the extraordinary elections for Riga City Council|website=sportacentrs.com |date=20 February 2020 |access-date=31 August 2020}}</ref>
