Ismayil Ismayilov: "Nizami Pashayev and Turan Mirzayev can be replaced by legionaries"

"Their objection to appointment of Vahid Nazarov as head coach is useless because the head coach is appointed at the conference," Weightlifting Federation secretary general, deputy minister of youth and sport Ismayil Ismayilov told APA

Regarding refusal of the strongest weightlifters from the national team as a loss, Ismayilov said that there is nobody exchangeable.

"Azerbaijan needs Nizami and Turan. The head coach of the national team can't be appointed by the wish. If they don want Vahid Nazarov to be their coach, they can find another coach for them. They should return to the national team. If necessary, we can replace Turan and Nizami with legionaries," he said.
