Sergei Fedorov named head coach of CSKA Moscow

Hockey Hall of Famer Sergei Fedorov is taking his talents behind the bench.

The 51-year-old is taking over as head coach of the KHL's CSKA Moscow, the league announced Wednesday.

Federov has been the team's general manager since 2012-13.

The 6-foot-2, two-way center was one of his generation's best players, winning three Stanley Cups, two Selke Trophies, a Hart Trophy, three World Championship gold medals, and a world junior gold medal. His best years came with the Detroit Red Wings, but he also enjoyed stints with the then-Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, the Columbus Blue Jackets, and the Washington Capitals.
