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[edit]

Nazaryan is a product of Pyunik's youth system.[1] After making several appearances for the first team both in the Armenian Premier League[2] and in UEFA Europa League qualifiers,[3][4] and playing for the reserve team,[5] in 2018 he left the club in order to join newly-promoted side FC Artsakh (later renamed to FC Noah).[1][6]

At the end of the 2019–20 season, after winning an Armenian Cup with Noah,[7][8] Nazaryan left the club.[9]

In the summer of 2020, Nazaryan signed a one-year contract with fellow top-tier side Shirak.[10]

After Shirak left the Armenian Premier League at the end of the 20-21 season,[11] Nazaryan transferred to Ararat Yerevan for free, which he left in June 2023.[12]

At 1 August 2023 Nazaryan joined Van.[13]

International career[edit]

Nazaryan has represented Armenia at several youth international levels, having featured for the under-19 and under-21 national teams.[14][15]

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.[16] He was an unused substitute in the former game.[17]

Having been called up again in March 2022 for a friendly match against Norway, as a replacement for an injured defender André Calisir,[18][19] Nazaryan made his senior international debut on 29 March, coming on as a substitute as Armenia eventually suffered a 9-0 defeat.[20][21][22]

Personal life[edit]

Nazaryan's father, Rafael Nazaryan, a former footballer and Armenian senior international himself,[23][24] currently serves as head coach for both BKMA Yerevan and the Armenia under-21 national team.[25][26]

His elder brother, Erik Nazaryan, is also a former professional footballer,[27][28] and currently manages the Armenian under-15 national team.[29]
