      Complete integrability of Manakov-type \(SO(n)\)-invariant geodesic flows on homogeneous spaces \(SO(n)/SO(k_1)\times \dots \times SO(k_r), k_1+\dots +k_r\leq n\) for any \(r\)-tuple \(k_1,\dots, k_r.\) As a consequence the integrability of a Manakov symmetric rigid body motion around a fixed point is obtained. As an example the complete integrability of the geodesic flows of Einstein metrics on Stiefel manifolds \(SO(n)/SO(k)\) and homogeneous spaces \(SO(k_1+k_r+k_3)/SO(k_1)\times SO(k_2) \times SO(k_3)\) is established.
