Almir Izmailovich Kayumov (Russian: Альмир Измайлович Каюмов; 30 December 1964 – 7 August 2013) was a Russian football player and referee.

Career

On November 9, 2009, it was reported that Kayumov attempted to commit suicide by jumping out of his apartment window. Police negotiators talked him down, however, and he was brought to a psychiatric hospital.[1][2] Kayumov later denied this, stating that he had just an ordinary treatment.[3]
