Funeral chief appointed as head coach of Armenian national football team

On December 10, the Executive Committee of the Football Federation of Armenia adopted a decision on the appointment of Varuzhan Sukiasyan as chief coach of the national team. The candidacy was approved unanimously, informs the FFA press service.
