Zaur Zalimbiyevich Khapov (; born 21 October 1964) is a Russian football coach and a former goalkeeper who won two international caps for Russia in 1994. He is the assistant manager of FC Lokomotiv Moscow.
He was Alania Vladikavkaz's goalkeeper during their Russian league title-winning season of 1995.
Khapov played his first game for Russia on 29 January 1994 in a 1âÂÂ1 draw in a friendly against the United States in Seattle. He also played in another friendly against Mexico in Oakland four days later, which Russia won 4âÂÂ1.
On 4 April 2022, he was appointed manager of FC Lokomotiv Moscow. As Lokomotiv's sporting director Thomas Zorn commented at the time, Khapov was appointed as he possesses the necessary UEFA A Licence and most of the manager duties will continue to be performed by Marvin Compper who does not have such a licence and therefore can not be formally registered with the league as a manager. On 30 June 2022, Josef Zinnbauer was appointed head coach of Lokomotiv, with Khapov continuing to work at the club.
