Footnotes

*Was Assistant Coach but the Liga Forward had to make a quick decision to put him as an Interim Coach. He only took charge for 2 matches in which Kyrinakov lost both and therefore was fired. However, it is unknown who was coach after that and it is also unknown that they played any games.
