The situation in "Gabala" is mixed. After a series of unsuccessful games, the resignation of head coach Kaxaber Sxadadze is on the agenda.
Idman.biz reports with reference to futbolinfo.az that the home defeat to "Shamakhi", one of the main rivals in the fight to stay in the Premier League, caused the fans to protest. It got to the point that the Georgian expert attacked the stands and engaged in a verbal duel with the fans.
This situation did not please Tale Heydarov, the owner of the club. He scolded club president Fariz Najafov for this incident and demanded that the Georgian expert's arbitrariness be stopped. Najafov was also explained that Sxadadze's mentioning the inadequacy of the squad at every press conference, indirectly targeting the club's management, cannot be forgiven.
In fact, Heydarov is right. Because "Gabala" has a better budget compared to "Shamakhi", which they lost in the last round. After the club academy was closed, the funds allocated by the state are fully spent on the main team. In addition, the income from the local market is also directed to "Gabala". In addition, the club's sponsors provide $1 million in aid. In return for so much support, it is shameful to lose to "Shamakhi", which survives only on funds received from the state.
Sxadadze is the coach who relegated "Gabala" to the I League with this budget. Returning to the elite again is the result of a budget that is twice as large as other clubs. Yes, the team's squad is very young. However, Sxadadze chose this path, and if he couldn't handle it, he should have resigned before the season started. Complaining now, fighting with fans is a sign of helplessness.
The break due to the national teams is the last chance for Kaha. He must prepare the team better during the break and start collecting points from the next round. Otherwise, resignation will be inevitable. After all, the fate of coaches who fight with fans is known. A few weeks ago, Adil Shukurov was expelled from "Kapaz" after an unpleasant argument with fans.
Let us remind you that "Gabala" is in 11th place with 4 points after 7 rounds.
