Last season, Araz-Nakhchivan competed in European competitions, but currently, they are doing nothing to remain in the elite league. Yes, nothing. They seem unable to do anything. What can they actually do?

What can a club that plays its home games outside Nakhchivan and is drowning in chaos do? Last season, Ceyhun Sultanov, who unofficially worked at the club, was appointed president by unofficial owner Zaur Akhundov. It is difficult to say how much influence Sultanov truly has.

On the other hand, the team's squad... They have signed exhausted legionnaires who previously performed well in our championship and local players who are in the twilight of their careers. Yet, there is nothing to show for it. To put it in school terms, Araz-Nakhchivan has received a fat 'two' after eight rounds!

It is hard to understand: Elmar Bakhshiyev didn’t work out, Demchenko didn’t either, nor did Huseynov. Is the current target Maksimov? When will the club management realise that the problem lies not with the coaches or players, but within themselves?

Things are getting increasingly complicated. Clubs like Shefa, Araz-Nakhchivan, and Imishli are dragging down the level of the championship. Now, Qabala can also be included in this list. These four teams are fortunate that there are many weak opponents like themselves, and their chances of relegation are below 50 percent.

Something must change. With this management, there is no light at the end of the tunnel. The most suitable option is to take the lead and leave – at least from football!
