A knee injury of the worst kind for Maksim Dadashov
20 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Khazar lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Qara Amirguliyev hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Khazar can pretend not to have heard.

Window shuts: 7 in, 4 out at Khazar
The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 7 arrived, 4 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Shahriyar Nazarov’s move to Gabala falls through
The deal that would have taken Shahriyar Nazarov to Gabala has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Khazar with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Vüqar Mustafayev in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Khazar this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Sumgayit tell Khazar: Nadir Orucov is not for sale
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Kamran Nazarov signs on for more
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Kamran Nazarov and Khazar agree another 3 years.

Xəyal Fərzullayev makes the team of the month
Four or five weekends of consistency, measured against everybody else in the division. A quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.
Looking ahead7 Sep 2026
The leaders are next for Khazar
Qarabag top the table and they are coming into view. Nothing to lose, which is what every manager says before losing.
In brief
- The dugout No hiding place for Kamran Nazarov
- The dugout Samir Sadygov knocks on the manager's door
- Market Window shut, Orkhan Ramazanov still here
