Sabah Football Club (Azerbaijani: Sabah Futbol Klubu) is an Azerbaijani professional football club based in Masazır. The team plays in the Azerbaijan Premier League, the top tier of Azerbaijani football.

History

Sabah were formed on 8 September 2017, joining the Azerbaijan First Division for the 2017–18 season, in which they finished 5th. After the four teams above them in the league failed or declined promotion, Sabah were granted a license to participate in Azerbaijan Premier League on 12 May 2018.[1] Sabah's first game in the Azerbaijan Premier League was against Keşla on 12 August 2018, a game they won 1–0 thanks to a Marko Dević goal. Sabah went on to finish their first Premier League season in 7th position, avoiding relegation.[citation needed] On 16 September 2019, Elshad Ahmadov resigned as manager, with Igor Ponomaryov taking over on an interim basis.[citation needed] On 26 November 2019, Sabah announced that Željko Sopić had been appointed manager on an 18-month contract.[2] On 3 July 2020, Sopić resigned as manager.[3] On 10 July 2020, Sabah signed 2 year contract with Vicente Gómez.[4] On 11 March 2021, Gómez left his role as Head Coach by mutual agreement, with Ramin Guliyev being placed in temporary charge.[5] At the end of the season, Guliyev was confirmed as the club's new Head Coach on a two-year contract[6] Guliyev resigned from his position on 21 October 2021,[7] with Murad Musayev being appointed as the club's new Head Coach on 30 October 2021, signing a two-year contract.[8] On 1 February 2024, Sabah announced that Murad Musayev had left his role as Head Coach after his resignation had been accepted.[9] On 5 March 2024, Sabah announced the appointment of Krunoslav Rendulić as their new Head Coach, on an 18-month contract.[10]
