Azerbaijan has announced new appointments to the coaching staff
of its under-21 national football team.
Azernews reports that Rashad Huseynov has been
appointed as a coach of the U-21 side, while Gara Garayev will take
up the role of team analyst.
The leadership of the Azerbaijan Football Federations
Association (AFFA) said it expects the new appointments to
contribute to the development of the U-21 national team, improve
the organisation of training for young players, and ensure a more
structured approach to preparations for international matches.
Huseynov, who has been involved in coaching since the age of 25,
has worked with several domestic clubs, including Ravan, Zira,
Sabah and Neftchi. The 36-year-old coach also served as assistant
head coach of Sabah’s senior team.
Garayev, one of the most recognisable figures in Azerbaijani
football, spent the majority of his professional playing career
with Qarabag. The former 33-year-old national team midfielder later
played for Neftchi and Araz-Nakhchivan before moving into his new
analytical role.
