Career

Jahangir Hasanzade began his career at Baku clubs, such as MOIK, Farid and Bakili. In 1998, Azerbaijan national football team former head coach Ahmad Alaskarov invited him to Neftchi Baku. Hasanzade became the No. 1 immediately and played a key role in 1998-99 Azerbaijan Cup final game. Later, he became the main goalkeeper national team, especially after a brilliant performance in a 2–0 win against Slovakia.

After Neftchi and one-year loan in Shafa Jahangir went to Ukraine and played for Volyn and Tavriya in the Ukraine Premier League. First part of experience was not so successful, but at Tavriya he was a main goalkeeper till his return to Neftchi, where Hasanzade achieved his first championship.

In 2005, Jahangir Hasanzade unexpectedly cancelled contract with Neftchi and was signed by Karabakh. At the end of the season, he raised his 3rd Azerbaijan Cup.

For Inter Baku, where he won Azerbaijan Premier League for the second time, Jahangir capped only 6 times. He also failed to be the main goalkeeper in Gabala FC, and in 2009 signed a contract with AZAL PFC.

During 3 years Hasanzade capped for AZAL PFC over 80 times. In November 2012, he became the captain of the team.
