“Reza Mehmandoost” who had recently resigned from leading the national Taekwondo team of the Republic of Azerbaijan after opposing this resignation and staying in this country, said in an interview with IRNA: After I resigned, the head of the Taekwondo Federation of this country opposed it.
He added: At the same time, he is the Minister of Sports of the Republic of Azerbaijan and he had a meeting with me and the players and announced his support for me. He said that I should continue my work and he is against my separation.
Mehmandoost said: Fortunately, my demands were agreed and I also decided to continue cooperation. I have always been ready and now we want to start new conditions in this team.
This coach stated: Our main program is the World Championship and then the Paris Olympic Games. I told the officials of the Republic of Azerbaijan not to count on the success of the team in the World Championships due to the youth, because a lot of time has been lost.
Mehmandoost stated that rejuvenation has its own way and method, and added: “Maybe we will be present in the world with only three or four Hugopoosh.”
