Fernando Santos's resignation, who has not known what victory is since he came to the Azerbaijani national team, was long overdue. In fact, Santos should have been fired after our national team rolled into Division D of the Nations League. But AFFA, as always, failed to make the right decision in time.
Idman.biz, referring to Sportal.az, reports that the resignation, which took place after the shameful defeat to Iceland, was at the insistence of AFFA Secretary General Jahangir Farajullayev.
In other words, in general, most of those represented in the federation's leadership looked favorably on Santos's resignation. However, taking such a step hours before the game against Ukraine created doubts.
Jahangir Farajullayev said that it was not right for Santos to remain in office after the shameful defeat. It was as a result of the Secretary General's principled position that a decision was made to dismiss Santos.
