"They called me and said, resign. I didn't leave the team myself."
İdman.biz reports that this was said by Rashad Sadygov, the head coach of "Zira", who was a guest on the "Sportcast" program of "Idman TV".
He spoke about leaving the Azerbaijan U-21 national team in 2018: "I asked them the reason for this. Because we had sat down and talked just 20 days ago. Goals were set for me, we wanted to take second place in the group. But then it happened like this and I had to know the reason. I wasn't going to stay there anyway, because I never had the idea of staying in an unwanted place.
I was just curious why they wanted my resignation. When I asked for the reasons, they said incoherent things, there were various conversations. So, as I said, I did not leave myself. In general, a lot could have been done at that time. There was a good team in the national team. But we left, those players disappeared. Only Elvin Jafarguliyev, Toral Bayramov, Nariman Akhundzade, Musa Gurbanli, who played under the leadership of Gurban Gurbanov, were able to develop. The rest disappeared. We lost at least 7-8 years."
