Initially Markarian was very positive about the idea, but eventually he rejected it after Armen Minasyan, the Executive Director of the Football Federation of Armenia put a condition, according to which Markarian should train the national team and another local team in the same time. Markarian said combining two posts is against his principles. Lately, national teams of several South American countries were interested in Markarian's services (Peru, Colombia and Ecuador), but he received an attractive offer from the United Arab Emirates. We do not know yet if he has accepted the offer. |
For more than one month there were speculations that Uruguayan Armenian football coach and international training expert Sergio Markarian was going to take the charge of the Armenian national football team.
