Chelidze made his professional debut with Merani–91 in 2002. He spent first four seasons at different domestic clubs.
He signed with Neftchi after several seasons with FC Lokomotiv Moscow, primarily on loan to other clubs.[1]
In 2010 he joined Liga Leumit team Sektzia Ness Ziona in Israel.[2]
Chelidze has made one appearance for the Georgia national football team.[3]
Since 2016 he has been a football manager. After several years spent at Shevardeni-1906, Meshakhte Tkibuli, Shukura Kobuleti and Saburtalo-2, in January 2022 he was appointed as head coach of Georgian top-tier club Telavi,[4] where he worked for six months.[5]
In early November 2022, he took charge of Sioni Bolnisi.[6] Under his management the club won two of the three remaining matches, but still failed to stay up following the play-offs.
Since January 2023 Chelidze has been the manager of title-chasing Samgurali Tskaltubo.[7]
