Former National Football Player Andre Ladaga Returns to Azerbaijan

Andre Ladaga, a former player of the Azerbaijan national team and one of the naturalized legionnaires, is coming to Azerbaijan.

Idman.biz reports with reference to Fanat.az that the Brazilian defender himself announced this.

He will be in Baku in 10 days. The reason for his arrival is to try himself again in Azerbaijani football. The 50-year-old veteran wants to work as a coach, be an intermediary in the arrival of Brazilian players to Azerbaijan, and also work as a football functionary. After arriving in our country, he will evaluate the offers he receives in this direction. Ladaga did not want to reveal which clubs he received offers from.

It should be noted that Ladaga, who played for "Baku" for almost 4 years in our country, became the champion of Azerbaijan and won the national cup as part of the capital's representative. The Brazilian, who was invited to our national team during Shahin Diniyev's time, played 11 matches for the national team and scored one goal. His debut in our national team was on September 2, 2006, in a match against the Serbian national team within the qualifying group game of the 2008 European Championship. In the away game, our national team lost with a score of 0:1. Ladaga was remembered for his goal in the game against the Kazakhstan national team (1:1) in Baku 4 days later.

The footballer, whose full name is Andre Luiz Ladaga, was born on February 19, 1975 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The first professional club of this defender was "Itaperuna" in 1994. In 1995 he wore the form of "Vasco da Gama", and in 1996 - "Internacional". But the club where he started to shine was "Fluminense". He played in this club in 1997-2000 and showed himself well. Later, after playing in clubs such as "Maduera", "Olario" and "America", he came to Azerbaijan in 2004. "Baku" officials, who went to Brazil to select football players, liked Ladaga and invited him to our country. The brightest years of his career were in Azerbaijan. Ladaga, who appeared on the field 80 times in the form of "Baku" in 2004-08, is the author of 6 goals. After "Baku", he had a short career in "Karvan" in 2009. He wore the form in only 2 games for the Yevlakh representative. Ladaga, who has not been called up to the national team since 2009, returned to his country in January 2010.
