"After the winter break, we were undefeated in games against ambitious teams and managed to increase the point difference with our closest rivals by winning four consecutive games." These words were said to Sport24.az by the head coach of "Shafa", a representative of the I League, Elgiz Keremli.
In recent days, there have been reports in the press that Aftandil Hajiyev will be invited "behind the wheel" if the team qualifies for the elite. The young specialist also commented on this issue in his statement:
"I have an agreement with the club. If the team rises to the Premier League, my contract is automatically extended. Most importantly, when such unfounded news is published in the press, the management always supports me and says that I should continue doing my job without paying attention to such rumors. The next games will be more intense. We must try to maintain stability so that we can eventually become champions."
It should be noted that, according to the allegations, "Shafa" may appoint Aftandil Hajiyev as head coach after being promoted to the Premier League.
