Club career

=Early career and Amkar Perm=

Zyryanov started to play football in local club Zvezda Perm. His professional career began with Amkar, in 1994. He played 171 league games, having scored in 48 occasions. In 1998, Zyryanov won Russian Second Division with Amkar and in 2000, he joined Torpedo Moscow.

Upon joining Torpedo, Zyryanov switched to their reserve team, where he played two games, scoring once. After that, he became a first squad regular. He was one of the most important Torpedo players, where he made 164 league appearances and scored nine goals. His playing ability brought him to Russian football giant Zenit Saint Petersburg in 2007.

=Zenit Saint Petersburg=

Zenit's late-developing holding midfielder was named Russian Footballer of the Year by Futbol and Sport-Express in 2007; in August alone he scored six league goals for Zenit.

Zyryanov also played at the back and, in addition, was used in a creative/goalscoring role by then Zenit coach Dick Advocaat. He was described as a "calm facilitator, keeping the ball moving and rarely losing possession" as he played in front of defenders.{{cite web|last=Wilson|first=Jonathan|title=Euro 2012: Russia|url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/writers/jonathan_wilson/05/29/euro.2012.russia.preview/index.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120603002240/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/writers/jonathan_wilson/05/29/euro.2012.russia.preview/index.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=3 June 2012|publisher=Sports Illustrated|access-date=2 June 2012}}

In 2008, he scored against Bayern Munich in the semi-finals of the 2007–08 UEFA Cup to help earn his side a place in the final against Scottish club Rangers. He followed that up with the second goal in the final against Rangers to give Zenit a 2–0 victory and lift the title.[http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/7393752.stm Zenit 2–0 Rangers] Since then, Zyryanov became one of the finest Russian players, and one of the most important parts of Zenit and Russian national team.

Following the expiration of Zyryanov's Zenit contract, he signed a one-year contract with their farm club Zenit-2 St. Petersburg as a player-coach.{{cite web|script-title=ru:Зырянов стал играющим тренером Зенита-2|url=http://news.sport-express.ru/2014-07-31/723705/|website=news.sport-express.ru|publisher=news.sport-express.ru|access-date=5 August 2014|language=ru}}

On 27 December 2017, he officially retired as a player and was appointed the manager of Zenit-2.{{cite web|publisher=FC Zenit Saint Petersburg|url=https://fc-zenit.ru/news/2017-12-27-konstantin-zyryanov-vozglavil-zenit-2.htm|date=27 December 2017|script-title=ru:Константин Зырянов возглавил «Зенит»-2|language=ru}}

International career

=Euro 2008=

On 14 June 2008, Zyryanov scored for Russia in the 33rd minute of their second match in Euro 2008's Group D against Greece. Russia won the match 1–0.{{cite web |title=UEFA EURO 2008 - History - Greece-Russia |url=https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro/history/news/0254-0d7bf2eb420f-7e5b48525fd1-1000--russia-end-greece-s-defence-early-in-euro-2008-group-d/ |website=UEFA |language=en |date=14 June 2008}} He was later named in the Euro 2008 Team of the tournament.

Personal life

Zyryanov was struck by tragedy in August 2002 when his wife Olga, who was a drug addict, jumped from their eighth floor apartment holding the hand of his four-year-old daughter. His daughter died that evening and his wife died a month later. His father and brother died two years before that. His new partner Natalia gave birth to their first child, a boy they called Lev, on 20 September 2008.[http://www.championat.ru/football/article-67682.html В 30 лет жизнь только начинается] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101007115454/http://www.championat.ru/football/article-67682.html |date=7 October 2010 }} He married Natalia on 9 June 2010.[http://www.fc-zenit.ru/main/news/52302.html Константин Зырянов женился] Their second child, a girl named Polina, was born on 9 January 2012.
