Farid Jalalov: "The team needs renewal"

"I was appointed to the national team twice. The Azerbaijan Volleyball Federation's leadership took the effort to make my homecoming possible."

Farid Jalalov, the new head coach of the Azerbaijani men's volleyball team, told Idman.biz.

He commented on his return to the national team: "It has always been a great honor to work for the national team. I feel proud that I will work in the main team now. We will do our best to develop our men'steam. Our main goal is to prioritize the youth in the nation. The plans we put forward have already been presented to the leadership of the Federation.

According to Jalalov, the main goal will be the training of the new generation: "Currently, our federation prefers younger age groups. Predominance of local volleyball players in the national team is a priority topic in the next years. Things are going in this direction. We will work in our turn to move in this direction. Currently, the process of preparation of young children brought to Baku from the regions is underway. Several of our senior volleyball players have completed their careers and are working as coaches. But today the nation needs to be renewed. I am thinking of creating a team of young players."

Sharing his opinion about the Golden European League, the head coach emphasized that they will work for the maximum result here: "A stage of the competition will be held in Baku on May 17-19. We will face the Romanian and Ukrainian teams. The Azerbaijan championship will end on April 30. We don't have much time left to prepare for these competitions. I will make a big change in the team in 10 days before the game, it would be a lie to say that we will beat all the opponents. It is true that we will go out to win in a meaningful way. There can be no other word. We will represent our country and our flag well. But we have little time in terms of time. There are more prestigious competitions ahead of us, and we will have enough time to prepare for these tournaments."

It should be noted that Jalalov is also the head coach of Murov Az Terminal club.
