Yeghishe Melikyan – Head Coach of the Armenian National Team

Yeghishe Melikyan to Lead the Armenian National Team
 

The 46-year-old specialist’s candidacy was approved today by the members of the FFA Executive Committee.
 

The contract with Yeghishe Melikyan will run until November 2026.
 

Speaking about his appointment, Yeghishe Melikyan said:

 

“I am proud to take on the position of Head Coach of the Armenian National Team. I understand the difficulty of the moment and the full scope of responsibility, but I am ready to walk this path with honor. All my decisions will be made in the best interest of the national team and Armenian football. At this moment, it is time to unite our efforts. I call on the entire football community to rally around the national team.”

FFA President Armen Melikbekyan, commenting on Yeghishe Melikyan’s appointment, noted:

 

“The Football Federation of Armenia has decided to change the direction of the national team’s development. We thank John van’t Schip for his work. Now we entrust the team to an Armenian specialist who knows Armenian football from the inside, having gone a long way from being a player of the national team to becoming a coach who, in recent years, has led a club to back-to-back championships in Armenian football.

 

We are confident that through the cooperation between the FFA staff and Yeghishe Melikyan, and through daily hard work, the Armenian national team will be able to achieve good results. I believe that with unity and solidarity, we can take a step forward.”
