YEREVAN, February 12. /ARKA/. The Football Federation of Armenia (FFA) and the head coach of Armenia's national team Abraham Khashmanyan reached a mutual agreement on the termination of the latter's contract with FFA.

According to a statement on FFA's official website, the decision was made following several meetings between the President of the Federation Armen Melikbekyan and Abraham Khashmanyan.
