The Hamlet Minasyan question follows Syunik around
Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Hamlet Minasyan’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.
In brief
- The dugout A door opens for Igor Mostovei
- Market Still no ink between Syunik and Antony Dalbello
