"I have been saying since 1993 that local coaches should be given priority. Local coaches have achieved the best results in all clubs. They need to be trusted." These words were said by Agaselim Mircavadov, a member of the Coaches Committee, in his statement to Sport24.az.
The experienced specialist stated that clubs should trust local head coaches:
"Unfortunately, club leaders do not believe in and trust locals. There is a world of difference between a local and a foreign coach. Sumgayit brought in Aleksey Bag, what success did he achieve? They were wrong once, if they want to be wrong again, let them bring him. Foreign coaches change 25 clubs in 15 years. A foreign coach is needed, I don't mind. But it should be of high quality. In this case, we have very qualified local specialists. Vagif Cavadov was a young and hardworking coach. Why was he sent to resign? He said in his interviews that he wants to learn. This is a good thing. I would like Vagif to work with a strong coach, gain experience, and then become a head coach. Provided that they believe in him. Vagif is a person of character. He will be a good coach."
It should be noted that Vagif Cavadov's contract was mutually terminated. He signed a 2.5-year contract with him last year.
