"There is no news yet," Azerbaijan national basketball team member Amil Hamzayev told Offsideplus.az when asked about his future plans.

The 36-year-old athlete, who recently parted ways with Neftchi, provided an update on his career, emphasizing that he has no intention of hanging up his sneakers just yet.

"Certain negotiations are currently ongoing, and I am waiting," Hamzayev said.

"I believe it is still too early to end my career. Honestly, coaching also seems difficult to me at the moment. But no matter what, I want to stay in basketball and continue to be helpful in the future."

When asked about the reasons behind his departure from Neftchi, the veteran basketball player pointed to financial disagreements:

"We could not reach an agreement on financial terms."

Notably, Hamzayev had announced his departure from Neftchi with a social media post just a few days ago.
