Cherchesov can take Azerbaijani national team to new level, says Haji Hajiyev

President of Dynamo Makhachkala Gadji Gadjiev believes that the former head coach of the Russian national team Stanislav Cherchesov could take the Azerbaijani team to a new level.

The last workplace of 60-year-old Cherchesov was the Hungarian Ferencvaros, which he left this summer. Previously, the specialist led the Russian national team, Polish Legia, Dynamo and Spartak Moscow, Perm Amkar and Grozny Terek (since 2017 Akhmat).

— In Azerbaijan, we play football very seriously and we invest a lot of money in it. Their championship has become more serious than before. Our Russian specialist Murad Musaev is already working on it. Azerbaijan has a good level. You can go there with the intention of getting a result. And Cherchesov recently said that the ambitions and goals of the team he will join are important to him. The Azerbaijani national team has ambitions.

We can talk about this topic, but the main thing is: Will Cherchesov go there? Maybe he’s not interested. But if he is interested, he can get good results there. Cherchesov can bring the Azerbaijani national team to a new level, there are prerequisites for this. If there are no prerequisites, no trainer will do anything. To do this, a system must be built, the national championship must be more or less normal, a good group of players must already be prepared. There is progress in this direction in Azerbaijan, although I will not say that it is at the level of neighboring teams.

But if you ask me, I’ll say something different. We also need such specialists in the Russian championship. I think Cherchessov is a qualified specialist, a Russian, he is needed in our league,” Gadzhiev said, as quoted by Legalbet.
