Murad Musayev, head coach of Russian club Krasnodar, could return to Azerbaijan to continue his career.
Fanat.az reports that Musayev is among the leading candidates on Sabah’s shortlist as the club steps up its search for a head coach.
Valdas Dambrauskas, who has attracted attention with his impressive results and bold style of play at Sabah, is expected to consider attractive offers from European clubs and leave the team at the end of the season or earlier. Should the Lithuanian coach depart, Murad Musayev is the club management’s first choice to take charge.
The experienced coach knows Azerbaijani football and the environment at Sabah well. He managed the capital club from 2021 to 2024, leading them to their first-ever runners-up finish in the Azerbaijan Premier League and securing qualification for European competition. Musayev is reportedly also open to the idea of returning to his former club.
