"A coach should be evaluated based on his work. But unfortunately, the result plays an important role."
These words were said by Vagif Sadigov, Chairman of the AFFA Coaches Committee.
The Chairman of the Coaches Committee commented on the dismissal of the head coach of "Neftchi", Samir Abasov.
"Samir Abasov was dismissed because "Neftchi" was not where it wanted to be in terms of results. When a coach is given a certain amount of time, the desired result is achieved. "Qarabag" can be given as an example. Everyone is working for the same goal. If some foreign specialist was also dismissed, compensation would be paid. Why shouldn't this also apply to local specialists? We live in a legal country. Laws are very important. In football, a contract is signed to do transparent work, and the terms of the contract must be followed. If the specialist who once made "Neftchi" a champion is dismissed, it means that the management wants to bring in a foreign head coach. Let's hope that the management's decision will please the "Neftchi" fans. I hope the team will soon regain its former glory," he said in a statement to sport24.az.
It should be noted that "Neftchi" lost to "Imishli" 2:3 at home in the XII round of the Misli Premier League. The team is currently in 8th place in the championship with 15 points.
