FORMER Rangers striker Shota Arveladze has resigned as manager of Pakhtakor Tashkent after three years in charge.
The Georgian won two Uzbekistan Super League titles and one Uzbekistan Cup during his time in charge.
But Arveladze has now stepped down from his position at the Pakhtakor Central Stadium as he thanked supporters and his former board for their backing.
The Ibrox hero announced the news on his Instagram page on Monday evening and said: "Three years have passed. Today I resign my position at Pakhtakor.
I’m grateful for three exciting, beautiful and successful years.
"Thank you to the fans, the team, players, stuff and to all who have supported us. I would like to thank Bobur Shodiev, Ulugbek Mukhamedov, Dmitry Adisman and the Pakhtakor board for the opportunity to have managed this club.

"The owners, whom have tried so hard to bring success. We had to try and bring through younger players, and recruit them too, and on top of that we wanted to change the style of play quite a lot too.
"I wish club to continue winning and to get just stronger. I am no longer Pakhtakor manager, but I am still a big fan of theirs.
"It’s been a great experience for me and life here has been fantastic. We were a great team and I will never forget you."
