Albert Vladimirovich Rybak ({{langx|be|Альберт Рыбак}}, {{langx|ru|Альберт Рыбак}}; born 16 May 1973) is a Belarusian football manager and former player.

Career

In 1991, at the age of 17, Rybak was playing in the Soviet third division with Neman Grodno.[https://archive.today/20201030084406/https://by.tribuna.com/tribuna/blogs/navulicymajoj/2682998.html «Поначалу злило, когда обращаешься на русском, а человек отворачивается».

During his time there, Rybak sustained a ruptured ligament which caused him to retire.

Despite joining FK Riteriai in Lithuania as a goalkeeper coach, he was appointed interim head coach on three successive occasions (2016 to 2019), helping the club reach third place two consecutive seasons and earning the November 2019 Coach of the Month award.[https://www.pressball.by/pbonline/football/87209 "На матчах лидеров — по сто человек".
