Kakhaber "Kakha" Kaladze (Georgian:კახაბერ "კახა" კალაძე,pronounced[kʼaχabeɾkʼaɫadzɛ]; born 27 February 1978) is a Georgian politician and formerfootballer who has served as theMayor of Tbilisi since November 2017. A versatile player, he was capable of playing as both acentre-back andleft-back,[3] or even as awide midfielder.[4] He played for theGeorgia national team from 1996 to 2011. He was votedGeorgian Footballer of the Year in 2001–2003, 2006[5] and 2011 and was considered one of Georgia's most important players.[6][7]
Kaladze started his football career in 1993 atUmaglesi Liga clubDinamo Tbilisi and made 82 appearances in a five-year spell. In 1998, he moved to theUkrainian clubDynamo Kyiv and made 71 appearances until 2001, when he was signed by the ItalianSerie A clubMilan. He has won one Serie A, threeUkrainian Premier League and five Umaglesi Liga titles. With Milan, he won theChampions League on two occasions, theUEFA Super Cup once and theFIFA Club World Cup once. After captaining his country 50 times in 84 appearances, Kaladze announced his retirement from the Georgian national team on 11 December 2011.[8][9]
Born inSamtredia, a town in theImereti region, Kaladze comes from a footballing family as his father played forLokomotiv Samtredia and was also president of the team for some time. His brother was kidnapped in a high-profile case in 2001 and officially declared dead in 2006, resulting in two men being sentenced toprison for a combined total of 30 years. Outside of football, he owns a company called Kala Capital and an organisation called Kala Foundation, as well as being an ambassador forSOS Children's Villages. He is married to Anouki Areshidze, with whom he has four children.
Kaladze became involved in the politics of Georgia as a member of the oppositionGeorgian Dream–Democratic Georgia party, founded byBidzina Ivanishvili in February 2012. He was elected to theParliament of Georgia on 1 October 2012 and approved as Deputy Prime Minister as well asMinister of Energy inIvanishvili's cabinet on 25 October 2012.[10] He continued to occupy both of these position under thesucceeding cabinet ofGiorgi Kvirikashvili until July 2017, when he resigned to run for theMayor of Tbilisi as a Georgian Dream candidate in the October 2017election,[11] which he won with 51.13%. In 2021, he was reelected as the Mayor of Tbilisi, gaining 55.61% of the vote in the second round of theelection. He was re-elected again during the2025 Georgian local elections.
Kaladze started his career playing as astriker for his local clubLokomotiv Samtredia, where his father was president, until former Georgia international footballerDavid Kipiani requested Kakha to joinDinamo Tbilisi.[12] At Dinamo, he played in 82 domestic league games and scored one goal.[13] He made his top-flight debut as a 16-year-old with Dinamo during the1993–94 campaign.[citation needed][14] Kaladze claims that a good performance againstItaly while playing for Georgia in a match that ended 0–0 brought him to the attention ofDynamo Kyiv; he later said, "In that game I was up againstChristian Vieri and Imarked him well."[12]
A fee equivalent to €280,000 was enough to take him to theUkrainian Premier League and Dynamo Kyiv in January 1998,[15] where he signed a four-year deal.[16] Here he scored six goals in 71 league games over the two-and-a-half seasons he spent there.[13] The Ukrainian club had been under the ownership ofHryhoriy Surkis and the lateValeriy Lobanovskyi had just been installed asmanager; they would go on to win eight consecutive league titles.[17] Kaladze also appeared inboth legs of the semi-final of the1998–99 Champions League againstBayern Munich, which Dynamo Kyiv lost 4–3 on aggregate.[18][19] En route to the semi-finals, they beat teams likeReal Madrid,Barcelona andArsenal.[17] He won eight league titles in a row during his time at both Dinamo Tbilisi and Dynamo Kyiv.[20]
On 10 February 1999, almost two years before his move to Milan would happen, Kaladze was part of the Dynamo Kyiv team that went to Italy for a mid-season friendly game against AC Milan, which at the time had been in the final stages of negotiations for the transfer ofAndriy Shevchenko. As Dynamo won 2–1, it was Kaladze who scored the winner from a free kick with his left foot, which impressed therossoneri management and put him onto the club's shortlist of potential signings for the team's defense.[21]
In January 2001, Kaladze became the most expensive Georgian footballer in history when Milan paid €16 million to bring him to Italy.[22] His burning desire to join one of the European top teams coincided with witnessing histeammate's near career-ending injury.[23][12] Upon his arrival, Kaladze became a regular starter almost immediately, and played mostly as a left-sided defensive midfielder in 4–4–2 or 4–2–1–3 formations, particularly under caretaker coachCesare Maldini.[24][14] On 11 May 2001, Kaladze played from start to the final whistle in the historic 6–0Derby della Madonnina victory for Milan over Inter, in which he assisted the fifth goal of the game scored byAndriy Shevchenko; Kaladze and Shevchenko, once teammates and regulars in the Dynamo Kyiv starting XI, celebrated the goal together as personally significant and gave each other a hug.[citation needed] However, on 17 June 2001, Kaladze opened the score in the eventual 2–1 away loss againstReggina yet refused to celebrate the goal as most of his thoughts were still with his brother, Levan, who had been kidnapped in Georgia just three weeks prior.[25]
In the2002–03 season, he returned to his original role of a defender (left-sidedfull back andcenter back), and made 46 appearances in all competitions, including 27Serie A appearances.[2][26] That year, Milan won theChampions League, where they beatJuventus onpenalties in thefinal (despite Kaladze missing his penalty)[27] and theCoppa Italia, where they beatRoma 6–3 onaggregate in the final.[28] After Kaladze'sdouble success, the Georgian postal service issued a specialstamp bearing the player's image.[29] He is the first Georgian player to win a Champions League title.[30]
"I've always dreamed of playing for a top club abroad, but I could have stayed at Kyiv, picked up an injury and it would all have been over for me. That's why I asked Dynamo president Hryhorii Surkis to put me on the transfer list."
Kaladze was limited to just six league appearances and 11 total appearances in the2003–04 season.[2] In thenext season, Kaladze played just 19 Serie A matches and five in the Champions League as Milan finished as runners-up in both competitions.[13] He was an unusedsubstitute in that season'sChampions League final, where Milan lost on penalties toLiverpool after a 3–3 draw.[31] He was said to be frustrated with his lack of first-team options and a move toChelsea, in exchange forHernán Crespo or for £4 million,[32] was widely reported.[33] Kaladze himself said, "I have agreed everything with the Chelsea management. Now it is necessary to wait for them to reach an agreement with Milan and I think I could become a Chelsea player next week."[34] Chelsea opted to signAsier del Horno instead. On 30 June 2005, Kaladze extended his contract with Milan until 2010[35] and again on 4 September 2006, this time until 2011.[36][37] In2005–06, an injury toPaolo Maldini meant that Kaladze was moved back into the centre of defence, his favoured position.[20] Milan finished third that season, although they would have finished second if there were no2006 Italian football scandal which resulted in a 30-point deduction.[38]

In the2006–07 Serie A campaign, Kaladze scored a goal againstSampdoria which turned out to be his only goal of the season. Milan finished in fourth place with an eight-point deduction relating to the previous season's scandal.[39] Kaladze won his second Champions League title on 23 May 2007 after Milan beat Liverpool 2–1 in thefinal; he came on as a 79th-minute substitute in that match.[40] He later picked up theFIFA Club World Cup in December that year where Milan beatBoca Juniors 4–2 in thefinal, though Kaladze was one of two players to besent off in that match.[41] He had established himself as a first-team regular in the2007–08 season, making 32 appearances,[2] but had only featured sparingly in the2008–09 season due to akneeligament injury sustained in aUEFA Cup match againstZürich.[42][43] Kaladze's performance on 15 February 2009Milan derby was described as a "horror show" on theChannel 4 website which started a dispute over an allegedsmear campaign between Kaladze and the Georgian newspaperLelo, who used the quote, "Milan really does need a new centre-back after Kakha Kaladze’s horror show in the derby."[44][45] Milan finished third in the league that season, ten points behind Serie A championsInter Milan; Kaladze believed this was caused by the many injuries suffered by the Milan squad.[43]
On 31 August 2010, Kaladze signed withGenoa on a free transfer.[46][47] In the2010–11 season, he played 26 matches and scored one goal, which came againstParma on 30 January 2011.[48] He was named as second-best defender of the 2010–11 Serie A byLa Gazzetta dello Sport, being surpassed only by his former teammate, Milan'sThiago Silva.[49] On 12 May 2012, Kaladze announced his retirement from football.[50]
Kaladze won his firstcap againstCyprus in afriendly match on 27 March 1996,[51] coming on as a 72nd-minute substitute forMikhail Kavelashvili.[52] Later that year, he was sent off for the first time in his international career againstLebanon in a friendly match.[52] With his team wonMalta International Football Tournament 1998.[53] He subsequently featured in his country's qualifying campaigns for the1998,2002,2006 and2010 FIFA World Cups, and the2000,2004 and2008 UEFA European Championships. Georgia had never qualified for theFIFA World Cup or theUEFA European Championship since they split from theSoviet Union until their historic qualification forEuro 2024.[54] Sadly, this tournament appearance was made long after Kaladze's retirement from football. His competitive debut was againstPoland on 14 June 1997 in a 1998 World Cup qualifier; Georgia lost the match 4–1.[52] Just two matches later, Kaladze was sent off for the second time playing for Georgia, along withGeorgi Kinkladze, againstMoldova in another 1998 World Cup qualifier.[52] Georgia finished in fourth place in the group and failed to qualify.[55] In qualifying forEuro 2000, Georgia finished at the bottom of the group (Group 2) in sixth place, with just one win.[56] Kaladze occasionally captained the side during these qualifiers in the absence ofGeorgi Nemsadze.[52]
The qualifiers for the2002 World Cup ended with Georgia finishing in third place, ahead ofHungary andLithuania.[57] Kaladze played in all of the matches and often missed the friendlies in between.[52] Kaladze only played in three matches during theEuro 2004 qualifiers, where Georgia finished in last place in the group.[58] He did, however, feature in a 1–0 victory over neighbouringRussia, a victory considered to be one of Georgia's greatest successes.[6][52] Kaladze played in all but one of the2006 World Cup qualifying matches,[52] where Georgia finished sixth in the group, withKazakhstan being the only team to finish below them.[59] He played fewer matches during the qualification forEuro 2008 and once again Georgia failed to qualify as they finished in sixth place despite starting their campaign with a 6–0 win over theFaroe Islands.[52][60]
He scored his first ever international goal againstLatvia on 6 February 2008 in a friendly which Georgia lost 3–1.[61] On 5 September 2009, Kaladze scored twoown goals in a2010 World Cup qualifying match againstItaly within the space of 11 minutes. The match ended 2–0 to Italy.[62] Kaladze was thecaptain of the national team,[63][64] until 11 December 2011, when he announced his retirement.[65] TheLa Gazzetta dello Sport reporter and the president ofInternational Sports Press Association, AIPS [Italian],Gianni Merlo said: "Kakha Kaladze is a man of the history offootball in Georgia. InAC Milan he was a pillar of thedefense and also a nice and polite man."[66]
Kaladze started to learn both Ukrainian and Russian after his move to Dynamo Kyiv and quickly became fluent. He also speaks Italian and English.[67]
On 23 May 2001, Kaladze's younger brother Levan, a medical student, was kidnapped in Georgia with aransom of $600,000 demanded.[68][69][22] Then-PresidentEduard Shevardnadze promised that "everything is being done to locate him".[70] Despite this assurance, the only time that Levan was ever seen was in a video where he was shownblindfolded and begging for help.[71] Following the kidnapping, Kaladze threatened to take up Ukrainian citizenship,[20] but reverted his decision, stating, "There was a time when I thought about quitting the national side completely, but I couldn't do it out of respect for the Georgian people and the fans who come and give us such support."[72] Roughly four years later, on 6 May 2005, Georgian police officers found eight dead bodies in theSvaneti region and it was speculated that Levan was among them.[73][74] On 21 February 2006, Levan was officially identified among the deceased,[22] after tests fromFBI experts.[75] The local media claimed that the ransom was paid by Kaladze's family,[75] although another source says that Kaladze's father attempted to meet the kidnappers, who fled as they believed he was followed by the police.[14] Two men were sentenced to prison for the murder, David Asatiani for 25 years and Merab Amisulashvili for five.[75] On 14 July 2009, Kaladze's wife Anouki gave birth to their first-born son in Milan. The couple named their son Levan in memory of Kaladze's brother.[76]
Kaladze has also been active in charitable causes and is aFIFA ambassador for theSOS Children's Villages.[64] Through his Kala Foundation,[77] a charitable organisation established in 2008, Kaladze raised €50,000 to benefitSouth Ossetian refugees during theRussian invasion of Georgia.[14] Kaladze also plans to release anautobiography with the proceeds going to the Kala Foundation.[78]
Along with his football career, Kaladze is an investor in Georgia, Italy,Ukraine andKazakhstan.[79] Kaladze owns Kala Capital, an investment company established in 2008 in Georgia with a focus on energy businesses,[80] and whose chief executive is former Georgian Prime MinisterZurab Noghaideli.[81]

Kaladze's other businesses include theBuddha Bar inKyiv that opened in 2008.[82][83] Kaladze is also the owner of a restaurant called Giannino, founded in 1899 by Giannino Bindi, which is based in Milan.[84][85] The restaurant has had aMichelin star under Davide Oldani and the chef in charge was Roberto Molinari.[86][87][88]
Kala Capital owned 45 percent of the Georgia Hydropower Construction Company company SakHidroEnergoMsheni, a joint stock company incorporated in Georgia in 1998.[citation needed] His candidacy asMinister of Energy and Natural Resources in October 2012 was therefore overshadowed by concerns about a serious risk that a conflict of interests might arise.[89] Reports on the same day indicated that Kaladze might refuse the energy portfolio or sell off his shares in Georgia Hydropower Construction Company within 10 days of his appointment.[90]
Kaladze became involved in the politics of Georgia as a member of the oppositionGeorgian Dream–Democratic Georgia party founded bybillionaireBidzina Ivanishvili in February 2012. He was elected to theParliament of Georgia on 1 October 2012 as majoritarian ofSamtredia constituency. He was approved as Deputy Prime Minister as well asMinister of Energy in thecabinet of Bidzina Ivanishvili on 25 October 2012.[10] The appointment was met with skepticism in professional energy circles.[91][92] More importantly, it stirred an intense debate on aconflict of interest arising from Kaladze's business interests in the Georgia Hydropower Construction Company, in which Kala Capital owned 45 percent.[93] Kala Capital sold the shares to GMC Group in November 2012 but concerns whether his indirect commercial interests had been abandoned remain.[94]
In July 2017, Kaladze resigned as Energy minister in order to run for Tbilisi mayor in the upcoming local elections. On 22 October, he was elected mayor as a candidate of Georgian Dream, winning the elections with 51% of the votes. He was sworn in on 13 November 2017.[95]
Kaladze won reelection in 2021 with 55% of the vote. His second term expires after the 2025 election.
On 5 December 2024, PresidentZelenskyy imposed sanctions againstBidzina Ivanishvili and his 18 associates, including Kaladze, amid a violent crackdown on participants ofpro-EU protests.[96] In response, Kaladze explained to media reporters the next day that "Zelenskyy does not belong to himself, the Ukrainian people and Ukraine as he serves another country".[97]
On 15 December 2024,Lithuanian Foreign MinisterKęstutis Budrys announced sanctions against 17Georgian Dream officials, Kaladze among them.[98] On the same day,Estonia imposed a travel ban against 14 officials and judges with Kaladze also being in the list.[99]
Тhe UkrainianMinistry of Sport announced on 27 February 2025 that Kakha Kaladze had his titleМаster of Sports of International Class revoked. This decision stemmed from a relevant presidential decree signed five days earlier which sanctioned 34 individuals in relation to theRussian invasion of Ukraine.[100]
Kaladze is known for his blunt language and manners. As he once revealed to reporters, "I never show restraint. Whenever I have to say something, I always express myself and never shy away regardless of how hard it is to see".[101]
On 14 November 2019, while sitting in a car he showed his middle finger to participants of a rally at the Georgian Dream HQ,[102] although in the same day he denied it being directed at protesters.
