Offsideplus.az interview of Nurlan Ahmadov, Chairman of the Board of Directors of "Mingachevir"...
- If we believe what is written, the club will change its name. That is right?
- Yes! The name change of the club is planned for this year. We want to continue our activity as "Kur-Nur". We have already submitted the relevant documents. We are just waiting for approval from the Ministry of Justice. If it happens, the name of our team will be changed to "Kur-Nur".
- What other innovations are there in the club?
- Currently it is a period of rest. The head coach of the team is Adehim Niftaliyev. We have decided to continue with it. In addition, we are planning to make certain changes to the club's logo. We are looking for a football player. The head coach is also busy with this work. We want to use the help of more local players. Certain works are being done for the development of children's football in Mingachevir. Efforts are being made to develop children's football for certain age groups.
- What are the goals of the team for the next season?
- Each club receives a certain amount of support from AFFA. This is not enough. Therefore, it is very difficult to form a good team and play for high places. Of course, like all clubs, we also wish to find additional funds, sponsor or cooperate with some company. The management is also searching. I can't make an ambitious statement at the moment. Time will tell. In any case, the team will fight for at least 3-4 places.
- Will there be changes related to the infrastructure?
- Our main goal is to restore the previous football traditions of Mingachevir. In addition, it is to achieve the recovery of children's football and to use those talented players for the team in the future. This is almost the biggest of our goals. Football disappeared in Mingachevir.
