Hovhannes Nazaryan (Armenian: Հովհաննես Նազարյան, born 11 March 1998) is an Armenian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Armenian Premier League club Van and the Armenia national team.

Club career

Nazaryan is a product of Pyunik's youth system. After making several appearances for the first team both in the Armenian Premier League and in UEFA Europa League qualifiers,[1] [2] and playing for the reserve team,[3] in 2018 he left the club in order to join newly promoted side FC Artsakh (later renamed to FC Noah).[4] [5]

At the end of the 2019–20 season, after winning an Armenian Cup with Noah, Nazaryan left the club.[6]

In the summer of 2020, Nazaryan signed a one-year contract with fellow top-tier side Shirak.[7]

After Shirak left the Armenian Premier League at the end of the 20-21 season,[8] Nazaryan transferred to Ararat Yerevan for free, which he left in June 2023.[9]

At 1 August 2023 Nazaryan joined Van.[10]

International career

Nazaryan has represented Armenia at several youth international levels, having featured for the under-19 and under-21 national teams.[11] [12]

In November 2021, he received his first call-up to the Armenian senior national team for the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches against North Macedonia and Germany, respectively.[13] He was an unused substitute in the former game.[14]

Having been called up again in March 2022 for a friendly match against Norway, as a replacement for an injured defender André Calisir,[15] [16] Nazaryan made his senior international debut on 29 March, coming on as a substitute as Armenia eventually suffered a 9–0 defeat.[17] [18] [19]

Personal life

Nazaryan's father, Rafael Nazaryan, a former footballer and Armenian senior international himself,[20] [21] currently serves as head coach for both BKMA Yerevan and the Armenia under-21 national team.[22] [23]

His elder brother, Erik Nazaryan, is also a former professional footballer,[24] [25] and currently manages the Armenian under-15 national team.[26]
