Bauyrzhan Sagyndyk appointed Head of the Sports Analytics Unit!

Sagyndyk has been working with the League since its inaugural season. He previously served as an expert analyst and was actively involved in organizing the Unit's projects and developing its long-term strategic vision.

Since February 2024, he has also been the head coach of Kazakhstan’s U17 national team. Under his guidance, the national youth team qualified for the elite round of the UEFA Euro 2026 qualifiers.

Before joining the Freedom QJ League, Sagyndyk worked within the systems of clubs such as Irtysh, Aksu, and Zhuldyz, and also served as an assistant head coach of Kazakhstan’s U20 national team.

“Being responsible for the development of the sports analytics direction at the Freedom QJ League is a great responsibility.

We will focus on practice-oriented analytics that support coaches and clubs in their daily work, while continuing to build a sustainable analytics system that reflects the realities of the League.

I would like to thank the management of the Freedom QJ League for their trust,” said Bauyrzhan Sagyndyk.

It should be noted that Arsen Inkarbekov, who led the Sports Analytics Unit during the League’s first three seasons, has moved to Shakhter Karaganda, where he has taken up the position of Sporting Director.
