As a player, Varlam Kilasonia spent 17 years in four different countries.

He started his managerial career at Olimpi Rustavi in 2006.

Twice in a row, in 2016 and 2017, he led the newly created football club Rustavi to championship titles in the second tier, which in the second case implied automatic promotion to Erovnuli Liga.[1]

Following three spells with this club, from July 2020 to June 2021 Kilasonia was in charge of Sioni Bolnisi,[2] where he was named the best manager in the first phase of the season.[3]

In late July 2022, he was announced as head coach of Merani Martvili.[4] After his departure from this club at the end of this season, Kilasonia returned to Rustavi in February 2023. [5] In April 2025, he was appointed by the club as Chairman of the Youth Development Programme.[6] However, a month later he took charge of Sioni for the third spell.[7]
