Early career Samoilov began skating in 2003 at CSKA Sports School in
Moscow under coach Irina Galustyan. He remained with Galustyan until 2009, after which he changed coaches several times, moving to
Elena Sokolova for the 2009–2010 season, Anastasia Timofeeva for the 2010–2011 season, and Irina Smirnova for the summer of 2011. In December 2011, he moved back to CSKA to train under Inna Goncharenko. His time with Goncharenko lasted until the 2016–2017 season, after which he moved to Sambo 70 to train under
Eteri Tutberidze,
Sergei Dudakov, and
Daniil Gleikhengauz on the advice of Goncharenko. Samoilov was only in Tutberidze's camp for one season with little success due to a back injury he incurred there, which prevented him from training normally. He contemplated retiring from competition before he eventually moved to
Evgeni Plushenko's new Academy Angels of Plushenko in August 2017.
2025–26 season: Milano Cortina Olympics Samoilov opened his season by competing on
2025–26 ISU Challenger Series, finishing seventh at the
2025 CS Nepela Memorial and fifth at the
2025 CS Trialeti Trophy. He went on to finish eleventh place at
2025 Skate Canada International before winning gold at the
2025 CS Warsaw Cup a couple weeks later. Team Poland ultimately finished in tenth place overall. In March, Samoilov completed his season at the
2026 World Championships. He placed sixteenth in the short program and thirteenth in the free skate, finishing fourteenth overall. == Programs ==
