Vardan Minasyan (Armenian: Վարդան Մինասյան; born 5 January 1974) is an Armenian football manager and former player who is the football manager of Ararat-Armenia in the Armenian Premier League.
He played as a midfielder in his native Armenia, in Switzerland and in Russia.
Minasyan has been largely credited for advancing Armenia international and domestic football. He led Armenia to a record 3rd-place finish in Euro 2012 qualifications, where Armenia scored 22 goals, in his first qualification cycle. Minasyan was also the longest serving manager of the Armenian national squad to date and has the best match record of all the former managers of the national team.[1] When he resigned in October 2013 after the FIFA 2014 qualifications, Armenia was ranked #38 by FIFA, the highest rank in the Armenia national team's history.[2]
