Deniss Kačanovs (born 27 November 1979) is a Latvian football defender, currently working as the playing-coach for FK Daugava Rīga in the Latvian Higher League.

Club career

Kačanovs started his career in FC Universitate Riga, later on joining FK Ventspils in 2000. In 2001 he joined FK Daugava Rīga, but in 2002 rejoined FK Ventspils once again. He played there for 7 years, making 151 appearances and scoring 6 league goals. He was released in 2009 because of being in suspect of betting on his own team's results, and was without a club for more than a year. His fault wasn't proved then, and the player stated he had had several conflicts with FK Ventspils for a long time.[1] In February 2011 he joined Skonto Riga. In a league match against his former team FK Ventspils Kačanovs seriously injured their defender Vladimirs Bespalovs with a rude tackle from behind, whose further career then seemed to be in doubt for a moment. In fact, Bespalovs is a son of FK Ventspils president Jurijs Bespalovs. He thought that Kačanovs had done this on purpose and handed in a request for Latvian Football Federation to ban the player. Kačanovs was given a long-term disqualification then.[2] In September 2011, after having played 16 matches and scored 1 goal for Skonto, he left for Indonesian team Persema Malang.[3] In July 2012, Kačanovs returned to the Latvian Higher League, signing with FC Jūrmala.[4] He played 13 matches for Jūrmala, finishing the league in the sixth position. In January 2013 Kačanovs joined the Latvian Higher League club Daugava Rīga.

International career

Kačanovs made his debut for Latvia in 2006. So far he has collected 29 appearances, scoring no goals.[5] He played his last international match in 2011.
