In January FC Sioni Bolnisi brought him back to Georgia what proved to be a good move since he ended up as part of Sioni´s 2005-06 championship winning team.

He stayed with Dinamo 2 seasons winning another Georgian championship in 2007-08 and being in that same season the league topscorer.

In summer 2008 he moved to Azerbaijani FK Olimpik Baku but after only 6 months Serbian SuperLiga club FK Vojvodina offered him a contract. In summer 2009 he was joined in Vojvodina by another Georgian international footballer, Giorgi Merebashvili, but Khutsishvili started having health problems that season and after being diagnosticated with heart problems he ended abandoning his playing career in 2010.
