Sherzod Azamov to begin coaching career at Shurtan

Experienced defender Sherzod Azamov, remembered by fans for his appearances with the Uzbekistan national team, is starting a new phase in his professional career. He will now begin his journey as a coach. This was announced by Championat.asia chief editor Narzullo Saidullaev on his personal page.

According to reports, 35-year-old Sherzod Azamov will officially join the coaching staff of Shurtan. He is expected to begin his role starting from the second round of the season. Experts say this will be a new, somewhat more responsible and serious test for the experienced footballer.

Football fans remember Azamov for his reliable performances in key matches with Nasaf and Pakhtakor, his relentless fighting spirit, and leadership qualities. Now he aims to pass his knowledge and experience to the new generation as a coach.

It should be noted that Shurtan is currently in a difficult situation. The team sits at the bottom of the Super League table with 9 points. This state of affairs has forced the club management to take serious measures. At a time when the team clearly needs a new spirit, a fresh approach, and revived internal competition, the arrival of a seasoned specialist like Azamov may lay the foundation for positive changes.

Currently, Shurtan is led by head coach Eldor Moiliev. Under his leadership, the team has been trying to revive in recent rounds, but consistent results have yet to be seen. That’s why, with experienced additions to the coaching staff, the goal is to improve the team’s performance, positively affect its psychology, and turn around results.

What results Sherzod Azamov will achieve in his new role and whether he can make a mark as a coach — time will tell. One thing is clear: there is now a stronger chance for a new passionate spirit and professional approach to emerge in Shurtan. Fans of the club expect only positive changes from Azamov.
