Most people in the AFFA leadership are in favor of Fernando Santos' early resignation.
Idman.biz, referring to Sportinfo.az, reports that this was stated by the federation.
According to reports, the national team's start to the World Championship qualifying round with a big defeat has drastically changed the management's attitude towards the current head coach. The crushing defeat (0:5) recorded on the trip to Iceland has shaken the AFFA bosses.
Consultations were held among officials on this matter. Vice-presidents Balakishi Gasimov and Maksud Adigozalov demanded the immediate resignation of the Portuguese specialist and noted the importance of bringing in a local coach for this position. Secretary General Jahangir Farajullayev is also in favor of parting ways with him.
While Elshad Nasirov is in favor of continuing confidence in Fernando Santos, President Rovshan Najaf is in favor of making a final decision on September 9. He believes that it is necessary to wait for the result of the second match against Ukraine on that day.
