The head coach of Urartu FC Aleksandr Grigoryan expressed his opinion about the legendary player and coach Arkadi Andriasyan․

“Arkadi Andriasyan was one of my idols. He was an outstanding footballer who, in my opinion, in modern football could play in the biggest top clubs in Europe. In terms of talent and skill, he was arguably the best Armenian player of all time.

He was also an excellent coach with great success. Andriasyan left his mark, having brought up a lot of high-class players, if not for him, there would not have been a whole galaxy of great football players.

I met him a year ago, then I told him that he had been my idol for many years, and now it is a great honor for me to know him. It hurt me when I found out that he was no longer with us. Rest in peace, great master,” - Grigoryan said.
