Club career

He was first introduced to the game when he was 9 years old on a family trip in Turkmenistan, according to Sardar. He began his career at Oghab Gonbad, Gonbad-e Kavus, where he began his career. He competed in volleyball and was invited to Iran's national under-15 volleyball team. He began with Shamoushak Gorgan before joining Etka Gorgan, who were playing in Division 1 (the second tier) in Iran at the time.

Azmoun joined Sepahan's youth ranks at age 15. Although he appeared for the club in Turkey during their pre-season friendlies, Sepahan did not make a professional appearance for the club when the team lifted the trophy in 2011–12.

Sardar's talent in Iran's youth team was sought after by a number of European clubs, notably Rubin Kazan, during the 2012-2013 season. When Azmoun moved to Rubin Kazan at the age of 17, he became Iran's youngest Legionnaire.

He joined Turkishmen speaking Kurban Berdyev and became Iran's first football player in the Russian Premier League, choosing Kurban Berdyev. He made 8 appearances for his club's reserve team during his rookie season, scoring two goals and receiving one yellow card. He was also selected for the 18-man match day squad on several occasions, but he did not make his senior debut until April.

Azmoun made his senior team debut against Jagodina on July 25th, defeating Rubin 1–0. He scored his first goal in his second senior appearance for Rubin in a 3–0 Europa League victory over Molde on August 29th. He came as a replacement in the 64th minute. He made his league debut on October 6, 2013 with a goal and an assist, and he came on as a replacement in the 72nd minute of a 5–1 victory over Anzhi Makhachhachhachhachchia.

Arsenal reportedly made a £2 million bid to Kazan for the transfer of 19-year-old Azmoun, sparking rivalry from A.C. Milan, Juventus, Liverpool, Tottenham, Tottenham, and Barcelona.

In a 2–1 loss to Rostov, Rubin Kazan's second league goal was scored three days later. In Rubin Kazan's loss to Zenit St. Petersburg on April 6, he scored a goal. Azmoun came as a replacement in the 55th minute against Krylia Sovetov, scoring a goal and assisting in a 4–0 victory.

Despite transfer offers from Arsenal, Liverpool, and Zenit St. Petersburg, Rubin Kazan revealed on their official website on July 4th that Azmoun will remain at the club. In a 1–1 draw against Hellas Verona in a pre-season friendly match on July 27, 2014, Rubin Kazan scored Rubin Kazan's goal in a 1–1 draw.

On November 28, he scored his second goal of the season against Anzhu Makhachhachchhachhachhacharya.

www.dailymail.co.uk, March 14, 2024

Roma had a 4-0 advantage over the first leg and then celebrated midway through the second leg as Azmoun used the occasion to aim high and divert it into the Brighton net. However, German referee Felix Zwayer was quick to rule the ball out, finding it to have been a risky play from the Iranian forward, who is currently on loan at Bayer Leverkusen.

Why Roma SACKED Jose Mourinho: His constant media guerrilla warfare upset their American owners, fans were fed up after FIVE red cards, he cost £3m per point and was sick of taking the blame

www.dailymail.co.uk, January 16, 2024
On Tuesday morning, Roma announced the dismissal of manager Jose Mourinho, putting an end to his two-and-a-half years in the Italian capital. Chelsea, Manchester United, and Tottenham boss Chris Coleman won the Europa Conference League for the first time in his first season as the team advanced to the Europa League final last term before losing on penalties to Sevilla. Roma have fallen apart badly in 2023-24 and currently sit ninth in Serie A, pushing the board to step in and relieve Mourinho of his duties. From his 138 games in charge, he has a record of 60 victories, 30 draws, and 40 losses.
