For the 2026 season in the Premier League, the team will be coached by Dmitry An from Uzbekistan.
Dmitry, who is 51 years old, has worked for a long time at the Tashkent club "Pahktakor," and last season held a position at the "Navbahor" academy.
One of his students is Uzbekistan national team midfielder Abbos Faizullaev, who previously played for CSKA and is currently playing in Turkey for "Istanbul Başakşehir."
Dmitry will be assisted by another Uzbek specialist, Timur Babakhanov.
Last season, "Neftchi" finished in 9th place in the Premier League. At the beginning of the season, the team was led by Russian Alexander Mochinov, and then management was taken over by Anatoly Vlasichev from Kyrgyzstan.
