Jorkaeff Wants Armenia
The FIFA World Cup champion of 1998 Youri Djorkaeff today made a very revealing announcement about his future, which is to coach the national soccer team
of Armenia.
Youri Djorkaeff would love to sit on a bench in the weeks and months ahead.
Djorkaeff made this revelation about his possible future in Armenia with francefootball.fr. He said he has not had any official contacts or offer from the national soccer team of Armenia, "but if I were offered one day to be the coach
of Armenia, I would think about it," he said. "My father Jean has been the coach of the Armenian National Soccer Team. It would be nice if I am one day too. It would be an interesting adventure."
His desire for Armenia can be explained quite simply. Djorkaeff's mother is Armenian. He told France Football that he is open to all proposals from the National Soccer Federation of Armenia.
If Djorkaeff goes to Armenia he has a lot to accomplish there and will have to work very hard. The championship is kind of low. While soccer is popular in the country few Armenian clubs have managed to get out of the preliminaries in the European Cup. The national team is without stars.
Currently Armenia leads the 96th standing in FIFA's world ranking. Late Ian Porterfield tried to restore the prestige of the Armenian soccer. He had some tangible success during his short tenure. However, his illness and departure from this life prevented the project's successful completion.
Armenia or not, in October, Djorkaeff will launch his own foundation in the United States. It will carry his name and intends to develop soccer in the disadvantaged areas. Djorkaeff now lives in the U.S.
The reporter also asked him to comment on the latest fiasco of the French National Team in South Africa. Djorkaeff said he did not want to comment on the French performance at the latest FIFA World Cup because of his "lack of reliable information on the subject."
