YEREVAN, OCTOBER 22, ARMENPRESS.  The head coach of Armenia's national football team Vardan Minasyan whose contract with the Football Federation of Armenia expires on October 31 does not want to open the brackets on the news about moving to “Bundesliga”. “I don’t want to comment on the news about me in the media” said Minasyan at the course of the conversation with Armenpress.

Vardan Minasyan took the position of the head coach of the National Football Squad of the Republic of Armenia in 2009. His contract expires on October 31, but on October 21 Vardan Minasyan announced that resigns.

Russian media have already spread news today that the German clubs carry out negotiations with the Armenian coach and it is possible that he will move to "Bundesliga".

Previously, the Armenian national football team players have issued a letter of petition to team manager Vardan Minasyan. In their letter, the footballers asked Minasyan to review his decision and continue heading the squad. The Football Federation of Armenia informed “Armenpress” that in particular the letter runs as follows:

“We certainly respect Vardan Minasyan’s decision, but we would like Vardan Minasyan to forego from it. We have gone along a difficult road with him for four years and we were able to create a united team and make our fans happy. Also, we have gone along a good professional road with him, and we would like to jointly book the spot to the final in the new qualification stage. We await the decision by our head coach.”

Previously, Vardan Minasyan informed that he will not coach the national squad in the new qualification stage.

“I prefer another continuation to my [coaching] career. There are several offers, specifically from abroad, and I want to discuss them.

I would like to thank Ruben Hayrapetyan, who entrusted me the duties of the national team head coach for the past four years. It is a great honor for every coach to be the manager of a national squad.

I also would like to thank our football fans. I have always felt their support. I am confident that they will always be with our national team, our football.

I also would like to thank the media representatives. I have always been honest with them.

And most importantly, I want to thank our players. It has been a great pleasure for me to work with them. Together we passed along a road which, I believe, was useful. They have a great potential, they are professionals, and I am confident that they still will climb great heights,” Vardan Minasyan told the Football Federation of Armenia website.
