I would like to thank all the coaches I had the opportunity to work with in the national team, my teammates, the medical and administrative staff, all employees of the Football Federation of Armenia, and of course our loyal fans who were always by our side — both in moments of victory and during defeats.

I will continue to support the national team in a new role — as a fan. I wish our national team victories and great achievements.

Yours — Tigran Barseghyan,” the footballer’s statement reads.
