"Bringing Fernando Santos to the position of head coach of our national team was a mistake, and if, as it is said, full compensation has been paid, then sending him away is the second mistake."
Idman.biz reports that these words were said by manager Tural Asgarov in his statement to Sport24.az.
The well-known agent spoke about the resignation of Fernando Santos from the post of head coach of the national team: "I hope that after the national team's heavy defeat to Iceland, Aykhan Abbasov will be able to prepare the team psychologically for the match against Ukraine. But in any case, the match with Ukraine is one game, I don't think that the result is of serious importance for the future of our football. The new head coach of our national team must be a local specialist. Because it is time to end the love for the "blind foreigner". As an answer to all questions, I would like to say that the national team is the top of the pyramid. Any change at the top will be a small, cosmetic repair. The foundation is still in a terrible, rotten state."
It should be noted that Fernando Santos was appointed head coach of the Azerbaijani national team in June last year. AFFA terminated the contract with the Portuguese specialist by mutual agreement yesterday.
