Sahlab Mammadov: "If Elkhan had worked badly in AFFA, he would not have risen so much in FIFA" - PHOTO

"As a father, I think that if he had worked poorly, his position would not have been promoted so much later."

Idman.Biz reports that these words were said by People's Artist Sahlab Mammadov, the father of Elkhan Mammadov, the former Secretary General of AFFA, who currently works as the Chief Executive of the FIFA Member Associations Division.

In an interview with Modern.az, S. Mammadov said that his son is not a football person: "He loved football himself, but he was not a person in this field. Elkhan had finished management."

The People's Artist said that the national team's unsuccessful performance at that time was not related to Elkhan Mammadov: "As a father, I think that if he had worked poorly, his position would not have been promoted so much later. Our national team is also working on itself. These processes are difficult. As sculptors, we also struggle a lot to get out into the world. We are a small country, we are developing slowly. I also watch the games of "Qarabağ". Today they score a goal, everyone is happy. Tomorrow, when they lose, everyone criticizes. This is life, we are also human beings."
