Another departure at Neftchi: Kenan Pirić may also leave

Kenan Pirić may leave Neftchi.

İdman.Biz reports with reference to futbolinfo.az that the new head coach Yuri Vernidub is dissatisfied with the member of the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team.

The 31-year-old goalkeeper, who played all the matches without being substituted this season, does not satisfy the Ukrainian specialist.

Although K. Pirić is ahead of all his colleagues in all teams in terms of the number of games without conceding a goal, Y. Vernidub expects more from him. The experienced specialist is dissatisfied with the lack of sufficient saves, the inability to play compactly with the defense, the weakness in playing with his feet, and the lack of activity in building attacks. For this reason, he is trying to bring another goalkeeper from Ukraine.

K. Pirić, who signed a two-year contract at the start of the season, will not stay at Neftchi if another goalkeeper is brought in. He has started looking for a new club because he knows the coach's decision.

Due to this uncertainty, Rza Jafarov's loan to Gabala is also delayed. If Y. Vernidub cannot bring his compatriot, he will trust the member of our national team in the main team, and K. Pirić will remain in reserve together with Emil Balayev.

It should be noted that the club has officially parted ways with Brazilian right winger Alex Fernandes.

Neftchi has formalized its first separation in the winter break.

İdman.Biz reports with reference to futbolinfo.az that the club has officially parted ways with Brazilian right winger Alex Fernandes.

The 23-year-old football player was brought from the Russian club Baltika to the Baku representative on loan, but was not included in the application for participation submitted for the season. The appointment of Yuri Vernidub as the new head coach of the team did not change this decision.

As a result, Alex Fernandes, whose loan period has expired, has returned to Baltika. However, Baltika had agreed to transfer the attacking football player, who has a contract until the summer of 2027, to Neftchi for a symbolic amount. However, since the Brazilian football player could not be useful for the team for a year, there was no need for his full transfer.
