Our Training Philosophy

Inspired by Bilardo, Sampaoli & Bielsa — adapted to Armenia’s future.

BILARDO

🛡️ Discipline & Winning Mentality

–  Set-pieces & details that win matches.

🇦🇷 Carlos Salvador Bilardo — World Champion 1986 "Football is not played to entertain. It’s played to win." He took his team to the mountains for two months before the World Cup to build a group with fire in their eyes. From that intensity, a world champion was born.

BIELSA

🧭 Method, Pressing & Identity 

– Repetition with purpose, clear roles.

– Positional play, rotations, width.

– Think fast, run hard, play together.

🇦🇷 Marcelo Bielsa The Master of Conviction. Olympic gold medalist (2004), he pushed his teams to the edge — physically and mentally. He believed football isn’t trained in comfort, but in obsession, discipline, and inner fire

SAMPAOLI

🔥 Intensity & Vertical Football

– High-press and fast transitions.

– Courage to play forward, recover fast.

– Training with competitive standards.

🇦🇷 Jorge Sampaoli The disciple of organized chaos. Copa América Champion (2015), he believed that talent without rebellion is comfort. His method was simple: “Turn pressure into fuel, not fear.” Because football is not controlled… it’s conquered.
