Agaselim Mirjavadov, a member of the AFFA Coaches Committee, gave an interview to futbolpress.az about R. Jorge's appointment.
We present that interview.
– Agaselim muellim, the U-20 team has been entrusted to Rui Jorge. What are your thoughts on the appointment?
– So what? I can bless him.
– He has worked for his country's national team for many years. Do you think it is a successful choice?
– What can I say? I don't know him. He hasn't worked in clubs. But I also read on websites that he worked in his country's team.
– There are problems in Azerbaijan's lower age teams. Will Rui Jorge be able to form a good team?
– Let him work, then we will know. The situation of local football players is obvious. If he has led Portugal's U-21 team for a long time, then he must be able to do something good.
– Is his appointment a fair decision while local experts remain?
– This is another topic. I don't want to talk about it. At the moment, I can only bless him.
