Behind The Dugout
FAR-TRAVELLED former Aberdeen manager Ian Porterfield is optimistic
he can turn Armenia into a football force.
The globe-trotting ex-Chelsea boss took charge of the former Soviet
state for the first time last week, losing 1-0 to Belgium.
Porterfield, below, has managed in Scotland, England, Zambia, Zimbabwe,
Oman, Trinidad and Tobago and South Korea. And he’s relishing his
latest adventure in Armenia.
He said: "I had a couple of offers after I left Busan Icons in South
Korea, but the Armenia job intrigued me.
"There is a lot of potential out here and we will see what we can do.
"I’m looking forward to the challenge here."
