“I’m aware that Sasa Ilic has been appointed as the head coach of Sumgayit. They expect results from him,” former Qarabag player and FIFA agent Bojan Ilic told Sportal.az, Idman.biz reports.
He commented on his compatriot’s appointment, expressing confidence in Sasa Ilic’s potential for success in Azerbaijan: “Sasa is definitely a promising coach. He was a smart player, and now he brings that intelligence into coaching. He has done a good job with the teams he has managed. That says a lot.”
Bojan added that he hasn’t discussed Azerbaijani football with Sasa: “To be honest, it seems like there’s a bit of pressure on him from the outside. People expect remarkable results. Sasa hasn’t spoken to me yet. As for whether there will be Serbian players at Sumgayit, time will tell. Maybe yes, maybe no. In any case, they’ll choose the best options. I believe Riad Rafiyev made the right decision by appointing Sasa Ilic.”
