Football Coach

I'm a dreamer,
so don't tell me not to dream
I'm a believer, as long as I’ve got something to believe in…



Hello everybody, My name is Orzumanbek Nurmukhamedov, born on 11.08.1995 in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. I have been supporting Liverpool FC since I was ten and I am proud to say "I'm Liverpool RED!" for already 13 years. However, I want to be something more than just a football fan from Uzbekistan. I want to play a significant role in the history of Liverpool FC and of my country…My ultimate dream and goal is to become a head coach of Liverpool FC and of our national team. 


July 2007, summer camp, Uzbekistan

With my passion to sports and the beautiful game of football, I told my dad, who wanted me to become a banker, that I would spend my whole life along the sideline of a football pitch rather than sitting in an office and doing a paper job. Studying sports and starting a football career in Uzbekistan would have brought me nowhere. So in April 2015, I moved to Germany alone without my family to pursue my bachelor degree in SportSciences to become a football coach upon my graduation. I have chosen Germany for its free education and the level at which football is taught and played in this country. I had to learn German language first and get proficient in the academic language to be able to study at a German university. It took me one semester to learn the language and other two to pass the Studienkolleg (an obligatory preparatory course for international students in Germany). I am now a student of Sport Sciences Faculty at the Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main and have five more semesters to go. 



November 2015, Augsburg, Germany




February 2016, Europa League, Augsburg vs Liverpool

I am now putting the first breaks together and starting from October 2018 coach a U16 Team at VFR Bockenheim (amateur club, non-paid) in Frankfurt am Main to collect a valuable experience. I am looking forward to getting my Trainer C-License this year with a support from the club and then get B, A and Pro on my own.

Since I do not receive any financial support, I have to combine my studies, training (i have to stay fit to pass the practical exams at University) and coaching with 20-30 working hours weekly to pay my bills. However, I still do not earn enough to have something left to save and then to pay for the licenses. Besides that, I'm sure that I could have done way better with my studies and coaching if I didn't have to work since I could have invested more time and effort into these.

My fixed monthly expenditures are made of:
Rent - 405€
Insurance - 85€
Gym - 20€
Kindle Membership - 9€
Mobile and Internet - 40€
*Semester fee - 390€

I earn up to 800€ as a student (because working up to 80h/monthly is allowed). I am not a German citizen so I have to get a new residence permit every year. German migration services require me having €8800 blocked on my bank account before I can get my residence permit renewed...every year. This fundraising campaign will cover my living and trainer license costs as well as be satisfactory proof of my financial security for migration services throughout my studies. If 30,000 people would only once deny a morning coffee at Starbucks and donate 1€ to my campaign, I would make a huge step towards my dream. It would cover my expenses till the graduation.

 Thank you very much for taking the time to read this and I hope you will never let me walk alone,

My best wishes,
Orzumanbek Nurmukhamedov
