24 October 2007 12:59 (UTC +04:00)

- What is the aim of your Baku visit?
- I am in Baku for my personal affairs. I planned to visit Baku and now as you see I am in Baku. I think to stay here for a week.
- Maybe you have received invitation. Did you receive an invitation to coach the national team or any club?
- No I have not. It was my own initiative.
- Azerbaijan is seriously seeking a new coach following Serbiaâ€™s thumping win over the national team. You are one of the real candidates fro the head coach post. Is its AFFA who invited you to hold negotiations on this issue?
- It is not as you think.
- In any case we do not think your visit at this special time is accidentalâ€¦
- I do not pursue special goals in Baku. I intended to visit Baku in October. I am now here to pay a visit to my relatives.
- Will you agree to lead Azerbaijan team if there is an offer?
- Letâ€™s not speculate on this issue.
- We would like to know your opinions about Azerbaijan teamâ€™s matches. What do you think about the match against Serbia?
- I watched Azerbaijan-Serbia match.
- What do you think of 1:6 defeat by Serbia?
- What can I say? The score is the best indicator. I think Azeri footballers played very badly.
- What is the reason for such a bad performance?
- It is not my responsibility but of the national coaches and AFFA leadership. They should discover reasons of bad performance.
- Should Shahin Diniyev resign or not?
- I can not answer this question. This is not to me.
