Diniyev initially worked as a youth coach before he got his first head coach at FK Qarabağ Ağdam and later his former club FK Gəncə . In November 2005 he got the job as national coach for his country. His goal was to restructure the national team and attach great importance to the inclusion of young talented players. In their first game against Ukraine at the Tofiq Bəhramov Stadium , his team drew 0-0. But two unsuccessful years later, the Azerbaijani Football Association publicly announced its dissatisfaction with Diniyev's work for the first time. The fans also called for resignation as national coach after the 1: 6 defeat against Serbia . Diniyev gave in to the demands and resigned as national coach.
