'''Talant Mushanbetovich Dujshebaev''' ({{langx|ru|Талант Мушанбетович Дуйшебаев}}; born 2 June 1968) is a former [[handball]] player, and current coach, who serves as the [[head coach]] for [[Vive Kielce]]. Dujshebaev is considered by many to be one of the greatest handball coaches of his generation.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.eurohandball.com/en/news/en/dujshebaev-the-best-coach-best-atmosphere-in-the-veszprem-arena/|title=Dujshebaev the best coach, best atmosphere in the Veszprem Arena|website=www.eurohandball.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://twitter.com/ehfcl/status/1537743483145945093?s=20|title=The #AST2022 Best Coach, the one and only: Talant Dujshebaev!|website=www.twitter.com|author=EHF Champions League}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://olympics.com/en/news/kielce-coach-talant-dujshebaev-how-to-train-to-be-handball-player|title=Kielce's coach Talant Dujshebaev: How to train to be a top handball player|author=Olympics.com}}</ref> He successively played for 4 national teams in his playing career: First for the [[Soviet Union men's national handball team|Soviet Union]], then the [[Unified Team at the Olympics|Unified Team]], then [[Russia men's national handball team|Russia]] and finally [[Spain men's national handball team|Spain]]. His most usual demarcation as a player was centre backcourt. After initially having success with [[BM Ciudad Real]] as a coach, he has been coaching Kielce for nearly a decade now.

==Early life and career==
He was born in [[Kirghiz Soviet Socialist Republic]] in the former [[Soviet Union]], and started his playing career in [[PFC CSKA Moscow|CSKA Moscow]]. He started playing handball late; at the age of 14.<ref name=stregspiller>{{cite web|url=https://www.stregspiller.com/talent-talant/|publisher=Stregspiller|title=Talent Talant|date=8 July 2016|language=en|access-date=15 April 2025}}</ref> Before that he practiced [[swimming]].<ref name=stregspiller /> He participated on the [[Handball at the 1992 Summer Olympics|1992 Olympic Games]] as a member of the [[Unified Team at the Olympics|Unified Team]] and won the gold medal. He also became the top scorer of the games with 47 goals and was elected into the dream team of the tournament.<ref name=esportiva>[http://perso.wanadoo.es/e/chorchepj/balonman/Bmalineacionesganad.txt Base d'informazión esportiva]</ref> One year later he participated on the [[1993 World Men's Handball Championship|1993 World Championships]] as a member of the [[Russia men's national handball team|Russian]] team and won the gold medal again.
[[FILE:CIS men's national handball team Hand-ball bulletin federal 1992-2-1.jpg|thumb|upright|left|The CIS team in 1992]]

After the 1992 Summer Olympics he signed for [[CB Cantabria|Teka Cantabria]] and a few years later he received the Spanish citizenship. Afterwards he played in the [[Spain men's national handball team]] for nearly a decade, gaining two Olympic bronze medals in [[Handball at the 1996 Summer Olympics|1996]] and [[Handball at the 2000 Summer Olympics|2000]], and silver and bronze medals on the European championships. He also gained several individual recognitions in the world championships, like being elected as the best player of the tournament in [[1997 World Men's Handball Championship|1997]], but he failed to win any medals with the Spanish team, which finished 4th in both [[1999 World Men's Handball Championship|1999]] and [[2003 World Men's Handball Championship|2003]]. Ironically when Spain finally won the world championship in [[2005 World Men's Handball Championship|2005]], Dujshebaev was no longer the member of the squad.

In 2001, after playing for a few years in Germany on club level, he returned to Spain and signed for [[BM Ciudad Real]] where he finished his playing career in 2007. In 2005 he became player-manager of the team, and after his retirement he became the full-time manager. His managerial successes include multiple [[Liga ASOBAL]] wins with the team, as well as winning the [[EHF Champions League]] in 2006, 2008 and 2009.

In 2006 he briefly returned to the field, when one of the Ciudad center backcourt players, [[Uroš Zorman]] injured.

He was voted twice as the [[IHF World Player of the Year]], in 1994 and in 1996. He also came in second in the IHF World Player of the Century voting behind [[Magnus Wislander]] from Sweden.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.worldhandball.com/DesktopDefault.aspx?menuid=536&languageid=1&AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1|title=worldhandball.com|website=www.worldhandball.com}}</ref>

In 2014 (8 January) he replaced [[Bogdan Wenta]] as head coach of [[Vive Kielce|PGE Vive Kielce]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.handball-planet.com/breaking-news-dujshebaev-is-new-coach-of-kielce-wenta-as-a-manager/|title=BREAKING NEWS: Dujshebaev is new coach of Kielce - Wenta as a manager|date=January 8, 2014|website=Handball Planet}}</ref>

Contemporaneously with his job in Kielce, he has been also coaching the Hungarian men's national handball team since October 8, 2014 until 2016.<ref>[http://keziszovetseg.hu/ferfi-valogatott-hirek/talant-dujshebaev-az-uj-kapitany?cikk=11088/ Talant Dujshebaev az új kapitány]</ref>

He also coached [[Poland men's national handball team|Poland]] during the [[2016 Summer Olympics]] and the [[2017 World Men's Handball Championship]] in [[France]].

He is the father of [[Alex Dujshebaev]] and [[Daniel Dujshebaev]], both of whom joined their father at Kielce in 2017.
