Aleksandr Vladimirovich Mostovoi (Russian: Алекса́ндр Влади́мирович Мостово́й ; born 22 August 1968) is a retired Russian footballer who played as an attacking midfielder.
Known as El Zar from his lengthy spell at Celta, he was often referred to as a 'genius playmaker' during his time there, in addition to a volatile temperament.
Born in Lomonosov, Russia, Soviet Union, Mostovoi signed for country giants FC Spartak Moscow from second division club FC Presnya Moscow, quickly making an impression. In January 1992, he joined compatriots Vasili Kulkov and Sergei Yuran at S.L. Benfica; months before arriving, he was controversially awarded Portuguese citizenship through marriage, but never imposed himself in the first team.
Midway through 1993–94 Mostovoi joined Ligue 1 side SM Caen, then left after the sole season to fellow French side RC Strasbourg, rejoining coach Daniel Jeandupeux. With the latter, he first displayed glimpses of an emerging talent.
