DUTCH TO TRAIN ARMENIAN FOOTBALLERS
Henk Wisman, Dutch in origin, was appointed the new coach of the Armenian National Football Team. As he noted, he for the first time saw the team in action during the Armenia-Netherlands match on March 30. The contract has been already signed due to the "7 months + 2 years" formula. Mr. Wisman refrained from making any forecasts. However he noted that he will target at achieving maximal results. In his words, he will also train Pyunik football club and co-ordinate the youth football in Armenia. When responding to the question whether it is possible that the Armenian footballers will play the Dutch "total" football the coach noted it would be desirable but it is too early to speak about it. To note, Henk Wisman has a 25-year trainer experience.
