Mujiri has become a legendary player in the history of Dinamo Batumi, where he spent 14 full seasons in four spells and played 268 matches. Overall, he had a 25-year-long career at ten clubs in six different countries. [1]

Career

Mujiri made his debut at Batumi in the second season of Umaglesi Liga in 1991. During the first seven years he was an integral part of the team involved in a fierce competition against Dinamo Tbilisi for the Cup title. As the club repeatedly took part in UEFA Cup competitions, Mujiri scored a memorable goal against Dick Advocaat's PSV Eindhoven in a 1–1 draw in 1996. [2]

Following a two-year tenure in Israel, he returned home in 1999.

He signed for CSKA Sofia in December 2003. [3] Mujiri became a regular in the 2004–05 season, playing 28 games in the A PFG, and two in the UEFA Cup first round.

Following short spells in hometown club Dinamo Batumi, Mujiri played for Baku between 2007 and 2010.

Mujiri moved back to his home club for the fourth time in 2011 when the latter was participating in the 2nd division. In a press interview, the new captain pledged to help the team climb back to the top tier and expressed his readiness to play as long as the club needed. Four years later, with Dinamo securing the silver medals of the national league, 41-year-old Mujiri announced his retirement. On 22 May 2015, as a captain he led the team with his N74 shirt for the last time against Shukura Kobuleti. His farewell ceremony was held on 30 August 2015. [7]
