- Your contract with Shamakhi was formalized today. What did you consider and accept the offer?

- What happened to your request from the management?

- I don't want to reveal it. I had their suggestions as well. Most importantly, we agreed in the end.

- What are your goals?

- The club was promoted from I League to Premier League this year. The main goal today is to build a good team. We have to do what we can for that. The goals are to strengthen in the Premier League. After that, we will take steps according to our budget.

- Do you have plans to form a new team?

- First of all, the selection must be correct. We don't have a big budget. Therefore, we will act accordingly.
