“Currently, the only problem is our limited budget, which prevents us from fully implementing our plans. But we believe it is possible to find alternative solutions.”
Idman.biz reports that these words were said by Adalat Abdullayev, president of “Araz Saatly,” which competes in the Second League, in an interview with futbolinfo.az.
The club president stated that the main goal for the new season is to strengthen their position in the league: “Our main goal for the new season is to solidify our standing in the league. We will try to form a sufficiently large pool of local players, meaning footballers from Saatly. From last season’s squad, we retained only a few players, mostly from Saatly. Gaps have emerged in all positions, and we need to fill them. Since we did not retain the existing squad, you will see many new names and faces in the new season.”
Abdullayev also revealed the team’s short-term plans: “Our objective is to collect as many points as possible and stay away from the danger zone. At the same time, giving opportunities to young and promising players and helping them gain experience is among our goals. Our new head coach, Elshan Atakishiyev, is a local specialist. For many years, he has led youth teams in Saatly. We believe he can be especially helpful in the development and emergence of local young talent. His professional football career is an additional advantage. He has been involved in this field for many years. We trust him and will provide every possible support.”
