In an interview with marvelbetgames.com following the match against Dynamo Moscow (2:1), 25-year-old left midfielder for Lokomotiv Moscow and the Armenia national team, Nair Tiknizyan, shared his thoughts on the type of coach he would like to see leading the national team.
When it comes to selecting a coach for the Armenia national team, I would prefer someone from the new wave of younger coaches who have recently retired as players. We’ve seen successful examples like Raul, van Persie, and Cannavaro. It's not just about specific names; it's more about the coaching model. If we could have someone from that group, it would be a positive change.
