Vitali Borisov: Our contract was not renewed because we could not achieve the goal set

Former head coach of the Azerbaijan national futsal team, Vitali Borisov, commented on his departure from his post.

The specialist gave an interview to "Report" about this.

He said that he left the national team because they could not achieve the goal set:

"When I signed the contract, I was tasked with getting out of the group in the qualifying round of the European Championship. But we couldn't reach the goal. For this reason, the contract was not renewed."

He said that they are preparing for the European Championship to be held among student futsal players:

"We are preparing for the European Championship to be held in Croatia among student futsal players. There are no offers from other clubs yet. At this time, the teams are on vacation. The championship will probably start in October. There is still some time."

V. Borisov also shared his thoughts on the appointment of the new head coach of the national team, Yevgeni Kuksevich:

"Although I don't know him closely, we have met from time to time. I wish the new head coach success. I hope he will raise the national team to high levels. Time will tell what will happen. He has only been working at Araz-Nakhchivan for three months. It is true that I have not seen any serious changes in the team, but they became champions last season under the leadership of the head coach. I congratulate them on this occasion. We would be happy if they raise the national team to high levels again."

It should be noted that Vitali Borisov left the post of head coach of the Azerbaijani national team some time ago. He was replaced by Russian specialist Yevgeni Kuksevich, who also heads the Araz-Nakhchivan club.
