Yeghishe Melikyan took charge of Pyunik in January 2021. It is worth noting that at that time our team was in an inapropriate last place in the Armenian Premier League.

Melikyan gradually managed to regulate the game of our team. In the 2021/22 season, under his leadership, Pyunik passed the entire championship brilliantly and won the Armenian championship for the 15th time in its history. This was our team’s first achievement since 2015.

Even more impressive were Pyunik’s performances in the 2022/23 European Cups under his leadership. Our team reached the third round of the Champions League for the first time in the history of Armenian football, and then continued its performances in the Conference League group stage, achieving memorable wins.

In the following season, Pyunik fought for the champion title until the last round, eventually settling for silver medals. In the summer of 2023, Melikyan's team again performed successfully in the European Cups and celebrated victories in four out of six games.

In the 2023/24 season, Yeghishe Melikyan became the champion of Armenia for the second time with Pyunik. During the championship, our team stood out with its uncompromising play and high willpower. Especially in important matches, Melikyan's inexhaustible energy and tremendous desire to win were transmitted to the team's players. Last summer, our team reached the play-off round of the Conference League.

During his time at Pyunik, Melikyan was twice named the best coach of the Armenian Premier League (2021/22 and 2023/24) and twice (2022 and 2024) was awarded the prize for the best coach of the year by the Armenian Football Federation.

In total, Yeghishe Melikyan has played 193 games at the helm of Pyunik, winning 114 times.

With these indicators, the 46-year-old specialist has become the coach with the most games at the helm of Pyunik and the record holder for multiple wins.

Yeghishe Melikyan has already written his name in the history of our club with his coaching successes at Pyunik for more than 4.5 years.

FC Pyunik expresses its gratitude to Yeghishe Melikyan and his coaching staff for the successes achieved in our team and professional work. We wish Yeghishe Melikyan fruitful work at the helm of the Armenia national team.
