Wikipedia - Sabail FK

Sabail FK (Azerbaijani: Səbail Futbol Klubu, pronounced [sæbɑːˈil]) is an Azerbaijani football club based in Baku. The club participates in the Azerbaijan Premier League.

History

The club was established in 2016 and immediately joined the Azerbaijan First Division. After finishing their first season in the Azerbaijan Premier League in 7th position, Samir Aliyev left the role as manager by mutual consent on 22 May 2018.[] Aftandil Hacıyev was appointed as the club's new manager on 11 June 2018.[]

Sabail's 2024-25 season of the Azerbaijan Premier League was a dismal one. In the first half of the season, the club played 18 matches, winning only 2, drawing 3, and losing 13. As the season progressed, results worsened, and the team fell to the bottom of the league table due to consecutive defeats.

At the beginning of the 2024-25 season, Sabail was managed by Shahin Diniyev. On March 3, 2024, he announced his resignation from the club, and on March 6, the role was temporarily assigned to Elvin Mammadov, the head coach of the club’s U-19 team. On March 11, 2025, Javid Huseynov was appointed as the new head coach. However, the team's struggles continued. On February 11, 2025, Sabail suffered a heavy 0-5 defeat against Qarabağ, one of the season's biggest losses at that point. The challenges persisted, and after a 1-2 loss to Neftçi on March 16, 2025, Hüseynov strongly criticized the club’s management in the post-match press conference. Just hours later, the club announced his dismissal. On March 17, it was announced that Elvin Mammadov was appointed as head coach until the end of the season.
