There are players who can stay off the field after finishing their careers. But thank God, I have been able to keep myself in full shape, I am constantly in training."
The experienced football player emphasized that he accepted the invitation from "Zangazur" without hesitation:
"That's why, when I received an invitation from the "Zangazur" team to help as both a player and a coach, I wholeheartedly agreed. Thank God I came, and I am happy that I came. It is gratifying that we became champions in this difficult marathon, on this difficult road."
Amirjanov stated that they dedicate the success to everyone who believed in the team:
"Thank you to everyone who believed in us. We dedicate this cup and medal to our family and relatives who are waiting for us at home."
