Career
In 2001 he joined Italian side A.C. Milan from BATE Borisov, Belarus. During the half of the season he spent with the team he failed to establish himself in the first team, playing only two games.
For 2002/03 football season he was loaned to Portuguese side Sporting Lisbon. He played 30 games for them and scored 7 goals, including games in UEFA Cup and the domestic cup.
For the following, 2003/04 season he was again loaned, this time to the Italian Serie B side U.S. Avellino. Kutuzov established himself as one of the most important players of the side and a fan-favourite. He played 43 games, scoring 15 goals. Despite his efforts, the team was relegated to Serie C1.
After his successful season in Serie B, he was noticed by the Serie A side U.C. Sampdoria. The club bought half of the rights for the footballer from A.C. Milan in 2004 for €1.5 million and signed him until 2008. In the 2004/05 season he played in 32 games (14 times in starting line-up, totaling 1,604 minutes) and scored 4 goals.
On 20 June 2006, F.C. Parma bought the full rights on Kutuzov from Sampdoria (and in earlier Sampdoria bought Milan's half for €1 million). He signed a three-year contract with them. He was loaned to newly-promoted Serie B side Pisa on July 2007. He returned to Parma during the summer of 2008.
In January 2009, he left for A.S. Bari.
