It will be known in the coming days who will be appointed to the position of head coach of the national team. Sport24.az reports that it will be known next week whether Aykhan Abbasov will remain "at the helm" of the country's main team. Negotiations between the association and the 44-year-old specialist are ongoing.
Meanwhile, our editorial office has received new information regarding the issue. According to information passed to us from a reliable source, if no agreement is reached with Abbasov, the post of head coach will be entrusted to a foreign specialist. Initial talks have already taken place in this direction and an agreement has been reached. According to our source, officials have contacted Robert Prosinečki, who once coached the team, as a backup option, and the Croatian specialist is warm to the idea of working in Azerbaijan again.
It should be noted that the 56-year-old Croat was the head coach of the Azerbaijani national team from December 2014 to November 2017.
