Vakhid Masudov (Kazakh: Вахид Юнусұлы Масудов, Vahid İunusūly Masudov; born 10 October 1959) is a Kazakh football coach and a former midfielder who is the head coach of Aksu.

[1] In the spring of 1977 he made his debut in the team of masters «Khimik» (Dzhambul).

[citation needed] A year later, he moved to the «Xorazm» team from Xonqa, where he was recommended by ex-Khimik player Christopher Kaskinidi.

Returning to Dzhambul in the fall of 1978, he received a summons to the military registration and enlistment office and went to serve in a team from Kyzylorda «Orbita».

[citation needed] In 1980, «Kairat's» mentor Igor Semyonovich Volchok called him to him, who created a team in Alma-Ata for the future.

On 7 April 1980, Masudov made his debut for Kairat in the top league of the USSR Championship against «Dynamo» Tbilisi.

In February, after several months of working with the team, a week before the start of the championship of Kazakhstan, he wrote a letter of resignation of his own free will.

In May 2011, after 10 rounds, he left the team for family reasons (his wife's illness).
