"The national team failed to win in eleven games under Fernando Santos. Therefore, I was expecting the Portuguese specialist to be dismissed."
Idman.biz reports that Nadir Nabiyev said this in an interview with Sport24.az.
The former member of the Azerbaijani national team commented on the resignation of Fernando Santos: "The Portuguese coach not only failed to produce results in the Azerbaijani national team, but also had difficulty instilling his game philosophy into the team. His removal from the team is the right step. One of Aykhan Abbasov's advantages is that he can prepare the team psychologically for the game at a high level. Although he has little time, I hope that he will be able to focus the players on the match after a heavy defeat. In general, I have always been in favor of a local specialist working in the national team. That coach should also be given a few years of opportunity. New decisions will be beneficial for our national team."
It should be noted that Fernando Santos was appointed as the head coach of the Azerbaijani national team in June last year. AFFA terminated the contract with the Portuguese specialist by mutual agreement yesterday.
