Starting in 2026, the team will be coached by Dmitry An, a specialist from Uzbekistan.
Dmitry An, who is 51 years old, has worked for a long time at the Tashkent club "Pakhtakor," and last season held a position at the "Navbahor" academy.
One of his well-known students is Uzbekistan national team midfielder Abbos Faizullaev, who previously played for CSKA and is currently performing for the Turkish club "Istanbul Başakşehir."
Dmitry An's assistant will be another Uzbek specialist, Timur Babakhanov.
Last season, "Neftchi" finished in 9th place in the Premier League. The team was initially coached by Russian Alexander Mochinov, who was then replaced by Anatoly Vlasichev from Kyrgyzstan as head coach.
