Mauro Guevgeozián: No regrets over failure to join Armenia

By Vera Martirosyan

Uruguayan Armenian Mauro Guevgeozián has changed his club and is now playing for Alianza Lima from Peru.

“Alianza Lima is one of the best clubs in Peru, having over 10 million fans. I chose Alianza because this club has international recognition,” he said in an exclusive interview with NEWS.am Sport.

The striker said he got little chance to use his potential in Libertad, a club playing in Paraguayan Primera División.

At the same time the Mauro noted he did not regret his decision not to join the Armenian national squad.

“No, I do not regret, because I did not ask for much. The only thing I asked the federation [Armenian Football Federation] was a convenient ticket, because I had to spend 20 hours in the air. But, I got a refusal,” Mauro said, adding that he was not following the Armenian media reports.

“I would be happy to join Armenia. Greetings to all Armenians in my Armenia.”
