In August 2016, Cherchesov was named as the new head coach of Russia on a two-year contract through to the 2018 FIFA World Cup.{{cite web|url=https://www.eurosport.com/football/russia-name-stanislav-cherchesov-as-new-head-coach_sto5717667/story.shtml|title=Russia name Stanislav Cherchesov as new head coach|date=11 August 2016|work=Eurosport|access-date=25 May 2017}} Under his management Russia would beat Saudi Arabia 5–0, Egypt 3–1, and Spain 1–1 (pen. 4-3), reaching the quarter-finals for the first time since 1970. He has become the first ever Russian manager, since the collapse of USSR, to bring Russia into the knockout stage of a major tournament for the second time (Dutchman Guus Hiddink led Russia to the UEFA Euro 2008 semi-finals), which others like Pavel Sadyrin, Oleg Romantsev, Georgi Yartsev and Leonid Slutsky have failed to do.

On 27 July 2018, he signed a new contract with the Russian national team, on a two-year term with a further two-year extension option.{{cite web|publisher=Russian Football Union|url=https://www.rfs.ru/news/207590|script-title=ru:РФС подписал новый контракт со Станиславом Черчесовым|date=27 July 2018|language=ru}} On 12 March 2020, he extended the contract until 30 December 2022.

Following the failure to advance from the group stage at the UEFA Euro 2020 which was played in June 2021, the Russian Football Union dismissed Cherchesov on 8 July 2021.{{cite web|publisher=Russian Football Union|url=https://rfs.ru/news/213966|title=РФС расторг контракт со Станиславом Черчесовым|date=8 July 2021|language=ru}}

On 20 December 2021, he was appointed as the manager of the Nemzeti Bajnokság I club Ferencvárosi TC.{{cite web|url=https://www.nemzetisport.hu/labdarugo_nb_i/ferencvaros-csercseszov-az-uj-vezetoedzo-hivatalos-2866853|title=Ferencváros: Csercseszov az új vezetőedző – hivatalos|date=20 December 2021|publisher=Nemzeti Sport}}

On 5 May 2023, he won the 2022–23 Nemzeti Bajnokság I with Ferencváros, after Kecskemét lost 1–0 to Honvéd at the Bozsik Aréna on the 30th matchday.{{Cite web |last=nemzetisport.hu |date=2023-05-05 |title=NB I: a Ferencváros megszerezte 34. bajnoki címét - NSO |url=https://www.nemzetisport.hu/labdarugo_nb_i/nb-i-a-ferencvaros-megszerezte-34-bajnoki-cimet-2955187 |access-date=2023-05-06 |website=NSO.hu |language=hu}}{{Cite web |title=Summary - NB I - Hungary - Results, fixtures, tables and news - Soccerway |url=https://int.soccerway.com/national/hungary/nb-i/20222023/regular-season/r69309/ |access-date=2023-05-06 |website=int.soccerway.com}}

However, on 19 July 2023, he was sacked from his management role after losing 3-0 at the Ferencváros Stadion to Klaksvíkar Ítróttarfelag in the first round of the 2023–24 UEFA Champions League qualifying phase and play-off round.{{Cite web |last=nemzetisport.hu |date=2023 |title=Kubatov Gábor: Nem dolgozunk tovább Csercseszovval |url=http://www.nemzetisport.hu/bajnokok_ligaja/ftc-nem-dolgozunk-tovabb-csercseszovval-kubatov-2968481 |access-date=2023-07-19 |website=www.nemzetisport.hu |language=hu}}

=Kazakhstan=

On 3 June 2024, Cherchesov was hired to manage the Kazakhstan national team.{{cite web|publisher=Kazakhstan Football Federation|url=https://kff.kz/kk/news/25862|title=СТАНИСЛАВ ЧЕРЧЕСОВ – ФУТБОЛДАН ҚАЗАҚСТАН ҰЛТТЫҚ ҚҰРАМАСЫНЫҢ БАС БАПКЕРІ|trans-title=STANISLAV CHERCHESOV IS THE HEAD COACH OF THE KAZAKHSTAN NATIONAL FOOTBALL TEAM|date=3 June 2024|language=kk}}

At the end of June of the same year, Cherchesov became the subject of a controversy. During a press conference, he objected to a journalist asking several questions in a row in Kazakh.{{Cite web|url= https://inbusiness.kz/ru/last/stanislav-cherchesov-ugodil-v-skandal-iz-za-voprosov-na-kazahskom-yazyke |title= Станислав Черчесов угодил в скандал из-за вопросов на казахском языке |language= ru |website= inbusiness.kz |date= 30 June 2024 |access-date= 13 October 2024}}{{Cite web|url= https://sport-express.ru/football/news/cherchesov-nachal-uchit-kazahskiy-yazyk-posle-incidenta-na-press-konferencii-2227370/ |title= Черчесов начал учить казахский язык после инцидента на пресс-конференции |language= ru |website= sport-express.kz |date= 28 June 2024 |access-date= 13 October 2024}} A couple of days later, Cherchesov began attending Kazakh language courses, and has said that he plans to master the language by the end of the year.

Under Cherchesov, Kazakhstan had a catastrophic 2024–25 UEFA Nations League B campaign, as Kazakhstan got relegated in a humiliating fashion with no goal to their name and only one point, paradoxically, obtained from Norway, the team that would later get promoted to League A next season.{{cite web | url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/live/c74lxgzw0yqt | title=Norway 5-0 Kazakhstan: Erling Haaland scores hat-trick to seal promotion }}

Personal life

Cherchesov is married and has two children. His son, Stanislav, is also a goalkeeper. As he spent much time in Germany and Austria during his career, he is fluent in German and has taken up coaching education in Germany.Archived at [https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211205/LESujWIE0I8 Ghostarchive]{{cbignore}} and the [https://web.archive.org/web/20201020102226/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LESujWIE0I8 Wayback Machine]{{cbignore}}: {{cite web| url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LESujWIE0I8| title = Interview mit Stanislaw Tschertschessow | website=YouTube| date = 26 April 2018 }}{{cbignore}}
