"Believe me, I really want "Karvan-Yevlakh" to stay in the top league. Because the football players put in effort, I know in what conditions, with what effort they prepare for the games."
Azer Hashimov, who left "Karvan-Yevlakh", but is still registered as the head coach on the official website of the Professional Football League, said this in an interview with sportal.az.

We present this interview.
- Has your issue with "Karvan-Yevlakh" been resolved, did the club pay you the compensation you wanted?
- No, the issue has not been resolved yet. They haven't paid any compensation either.
- Have you spoken to club officials, what do they say to you? Have they said they will pay your compensation?
- No one from the club has contacted me. On December 1, 2025, a letter came by post asking why I wasn't coming to training? However, on November 24, they held a meeting and appointed Fuzuli Mammadov as head coach. I myself was at the Yevlakh city stadium on December 2. On December 3, I watched the cup match with "Qarabag" live at the "Azersun Arena". I haven't spoken to anyone since then, and they haven't contacted me either.
- If they don't pay the compensation, are you planning to complain to AFFA or FIFA?
- If they don't pay my compensation, they will violate the laws of the Republic of Azerbaijan. That is, they do not comply with the terms of the contract. My lawyer, Eljan Hasanli, is also dealing with this issue.
- Your name is still listed as the head coach of "Karvan-Yevlakh" on the official website of the Professional Football League. However, the team has played so many games since you left. This can only be called unprofessional. Did you notice unprofessionalism when you worked at the club?
- I think it would be better if the director of the "Karvan-Yevlakh" club answered this question.
- Do you believe that "Karvan-Yevlakh" will retain its place in the Premier League? Did the team look better in your time, or is the team better under the leadership of Fuzuli Mammadov?
- Believe me, I really want "Karvan-Yevlakh" to stay in the top league. Because the football players put in effort, I know in what conditions, with what effort they prepare for the games. Therefore, I would very much like their efforts, their efforts not to be wasted, to achieve what they want. I wish the "Karvan-Yevlakh" team success. As for the comparison, I only watched 1 game. I watched the cup match with "Qarabag" live at the "Azersun Arena". I haven't watched any other matches. Despite the fact that my name is officially listed as the head coach of the team in the PFL.
