Azerbaijani coach Samir Abasov, who had planned training in the Sevilla FC, was unable to leave for Spain. According to him, he was going to visit Sevilla on his own initiative, but the visit had to be canceled due to coronavirus: "I and my close friends turned to the club and received a positive response. Negotiations were ongoing regarding the duration of the visit. However, that matter's settled. The trip is canceled due to the spread of the coronavirus in Spain".
Notably, the currently unemployed Samir Abasov was the head coach of the clubs Sumgayit and Zira.
