Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Family name hatnote Template:Infobox football biography Vardan Martun Ghazaryan (Template:Langx; Template:Langx; born 1 December 1969) is a football coach and former player.

Born in Armenia, Ghazaryan moved to Lebanon and obtained citizenship through naturalisation in 1994. He played for Homenetmen and Sagesse as a striker, and represented Lebanon internationally from 1995 until 2001.

Ghazaryan is the second-highest all-time scorer in the Lebanese Premier League, scoring 117 official league goals.Template:Efn He is also the second-highest scorer for the national team with 21 goals, after having been surpassed by Hassan Maatouk in 2023. Ghazaryan was appointed manager of Tripoli in 2017 for one year. He returned to Sagesse as head coach in 2021.

Club career

Ghazaryan started his senior career in 1989 in Armenia, at Spartak Hoktemberyan, before moving to Kapan in 1990.[1] In 1992 he moved to Lebanon, joining Homenetmen Beirut.[2] He stayed there for seven years, before moving to Sagesse in 1999. He spent three years there, before moving back to Homenetmen in 2002.[3] Ghazaryan then joined Sagesse once again, in 2005, before retiring in 2009 aged 39.[3]

His first goal in the Lebanese Premier League came on 23 January 1993, when he scored the second goal for Homenetmen against Tadamon Sour in the 54th minute.[2] Ghazaryan was named AFC Player of the Month for January 1996.[4]

On 16 November 2008, at 39 years old, Ghazaryan scored his 129th goal in the Lebanese Premier League against Tadamon Sour, becoming the highest all-time scorer in the league.[2] However, some do not recognise the 12 goals he scored in the 2000–01 season, which was canceled,[2] making him the second-highest top-goalscorer with 117 goals, behind Fadi Alloush's total of 120.[5]

International career

Having moved to Lebanon from Armenia, Ghazaryan obtained Lebanese citizenship through naturalisation in 1994.[6] He was the top goalscorer in the history of the Lebanon national team,[7] with 21 goals (four in World Cup qualifiers, three in Asian Cup qualifiers and 14 in friendlies).[8] In 2023, Ghazaryan was surpassed by Hassan Maatouk.[9]

Managerial career

In 2009, Ghazaryan returned to his native Armenia where he trained an Armenian club;[2] he moved back to Lebanon four years later.[10] Ghazaryan became the assistant coach for Tripoli,[10] before being appointed head coach in 2017.[11]

In July 2021, ahead of the 2021 Lebanese Challenge Cup, Ghazaryan was appointed head coach of Lebanese Premier League side Sagesse, for whom he had already played as a player.[12][13]
