Today, Shaban Shirdanov, the teacher of "Qarabağ"'s head coach Gurban Gurbanov, who turned 54, spoke about him.
Idman.Biz reports that the coach, who gave an interview to "ASAN TV", said that he learns from his student today.
"It is a pride for me to be his first coach. Musa Gurbanov, his brother, can be shown as the main reason for Gurban Gurbanov's presence in football. He brought his little brother to the team and I met Gurban. He made his debut as a left-back and was the best of the match at the age of 16. In the following matches, he started playing as a striker. The best thing I gave to Gurban was to make him love football more. All the experts in football today need to learn something from Gurban. Everyone calls him "hoca", but he sees me as his first coach. In terms of experience, I am learning from him today," he said.
It should be noted that Gurban Gurbanov started his professional career in 1990. At that time, Shaban Shirdanov was the head coach of the club.
