During his 16-senior career, he was mainly associated with Dynamo Moscow (four seasons) and Sporting de Gijón (five). He was nicknamed the Bullet from Gorki due to his speed.
Club career
Born in Gorky, Soviet Union, Cheryshev began his professional career with FC Khimik Dzerzhinsk in the third division, joining FC Lokomotiv Nizhny Novgorod in the second level in 1990. He played four seasons in the Russian Premier League with FC Dynamo Moscow, helping the capital club to two top-three finishes and winning the 1995 Russian Cup.
In 1996, Cheryshev scored a career-best 17 goals with Dynamo, who eventually finished fourth. Subsequently, he moved to Spain and signed for Sporting de Gijón, where he would share teams with several compatriots; he made his debut in La Liga on 17 November 1996, playing 30 minutes in a 2–4 home loss against Athletic Bilbao – the Asturians would be relegated at the end of the 1997–98 season.
Cheryshev continued to net regularly for Sporting in his division two spell. He ended his career also in the country, after one-season stints with Burgos CF (second division) and Real Aranjuez CF (amateurs).
During two years, Cheryshev worked as a manager with Real Madrid, being in charge of one of its children's teams. After acting briefly as director of football with FC Sibir Novosibirsk, he was appointed head coach at FC Volga Nizhny Novgorod, helping the team narrowly retain their top flight status.
In late October 2014, Cheryshev was appointed as manager of Kazakhstan Premier League side FC Irtysh Pavlodar on a two-year contract. He was relieved of his duties in May of the following year.
On 3 June 2016, Cheryshev was named coach of FC Mordovia Saransk, recently relegated from the Premier League.
