The 67-year-old Italian specialist said that he did not want to continue his duties in the national team, and the organization decided not to renew the agreement with the head coach.

After that, AFFA created a special working group to identify candidates for the position of head coach of the national team. Expectations in the football community are largely in favor of local head coaches. However, the "rudder" of the Azerbaijani national team can be entrusted to a foreign coach, who is himself an Italian coach.

According to the information obtained by Offsideplus.az, this is Alessandro Nesta, one of the legendary footballers of the Italian national team and "Milan". So, 47-year-old Nesta can head our selection in January. According to our source, an Apennine can work in Azerbaijan for 1 million euros per year.

It should be noted that Nesta is currently coaching "Reggina", which competes in the Italian Serie B.
