Khujand: Decorated former Tajikistan and FC Istiklol head coach Khakim Fuzaylov has been named as the new FC Khujand head coach, replacing Serbian boss Nikola Lazarević for the remainder of the year.
In a statement released on Sunday, the club confirmed the former Lokomotiv Moscow defender’s arrival, which comes just one week after he departed Kyrgyz Premier League newcomers FC Kaganat due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
The pandemic is also a factor in his return to the Tajik football scene. Lazarević has remained in Serbia since the league resumed last month, with Khujand assistant Rustam Khojaev taking the reins for the club’s league matches ever since.
