The match between Andijan and OKMK will decide the fate of Samvel Babayan
An interesting match will take place at the central stadium in the city of Andijan as part of the seventh round of the Uzbekistan Super League. Zamin.uz reported this.
The home team will host OKMK from Olmaliq. This clash is crucial not only for important points in the tournament table but also for the career of head coach Samvel Babayan.
After missing an opportunity against Navbahor in the valley derby in the last round, various rumors surrounding the team have increased. Although reports spread on social networks that the coach had been dismissed, the club management did not officially confirm this.
According to a report by One.uz, the governor of Andijan region and president of the regional football association, Shuhrat Abdurahmonov, held a private meeting with the coach. As a result of the negotiations, it was decided to give Samvel Babayan one more chance at his own request.
However, this credit is not unlimited. If victory is not achieved in today's battle against the experienced OKMK team led by Mirjalol Qosimov, it is certain that the issue of parting with the coach will return to the agenda.
In the current situation, only a victory can keep the coach in his position. At the beginning of the season, the team was tasked with fighting for trophy positions.
The club management fulfilled all the transfers requested by the coach and created the necessary conditions. Despite this, the Andijan representatives are currently at the bottom of the tournament table, specifically in eleventh place.
The performance and results shown are not satisfying the fans. Today's game will serve as a specific test for the team.
The players must act with all their strength on the field to justify the trust in the coach or, conversely, show that a period of fundamental changes has come for the team. Fans are ready to visit the stadium and support their favorite teams.
