It is too early to say how Sasha Ilic's work in "Sumgayit" will turn out.
Idman.biz reports that Aslan Karimov, the head of the AFFA's coaching education department, said this in an interview with AZERTAC while talking about "Sumgayit"'s new head coach, Sasha Ilic.
He stated that the Serbian specialist made a name for himself when he was a football player: "He had a rich enough career. But I am not familiar with his work as a coach. Ilic said that his goal in the new season is to qualify for European Cups. This will be difficult. Because there are ambitious teams in the league such as "Qarabağ", "Zira", "Sabah", "Neftchi" and "Araz-Nakhchivan". Many transfers are needed to fight head-to-head with these rivals. Since Sasha Ilic is also a Serb, he can turn to his country's football market. There are also individual football players in Croatia and Slovenia who can play in "Sumgayit". The football community must be patient with the Ilic issue. A clear opinion about the head coach can be formed after a few rounds of the Premier League".
It should be noted that "Sumgayit" has signed a 1-year contract with Sasha Ilic.
