Neftechi will have a new head coach

Today, a meeting of the Supervisory Board of the Neftchi football club was held.

The main decision was the rejection of the services of the head coach Samir Abasov and his headquarters. Abasov’s contract ended on May 31 and was not extended by the decision of the Supervisory Board.

Among the candidates for the post of head coach Belarusian specialist Viktor Goncharenko and Ukrainian Yuri Vernidub. The decision on the new head coach will be made until June 14.

Samir Abasov headed Neftechi in November 2020 and for the first time in eight years he was able to make the team a champion. True, then there was a failure in European competitions, where Neftechchi, having excellent chances, did not break into the group stage. In the recently ended season, Neftech took 2nd place.

In total, under the leadership of Samir Abasov, Neftechi held a 61 official match in which he won 32 victories, tied 14 times and suffered 15 defeats.
