'''Tigran Yesayan''' ({{langx|hy|Տիգրան Եսայան}}, born 2 June 1972) is an Armenian [football](/source/association_football) former player and coach. He played [striker](/source/striker_(association_football)) for the [Armenia national team](/source/Armenia_national_football_team) and for several [Armenian Premier League](/source/Armenian_Premier_League) clubs.
==Club career==
Tigran Yesayan began playing football in 1990 for Zoravana, which competed in the second minor league [Soviet First League](/source/Soviet_First_League). Since 1992, Zoravana moved directly to the [Armenian Premier League](/source/Armenian_Premier_League), in which the club finished bottom of the league and had its place relegated to the [Armenian First League](/source/Armenian_First_League). However, after the season, Yesayan moved to [Zvartnots Echmiadzin](/source/FC_Vagharshapat). After the end of the season, Yesayan again moved to [Dinamo Yerevan](/source/FC_Dinamo_Yerevan), which played in the Armenian Premier League. Yesayan was among the top goalscorers for the team and scored 30 goals for Dinamo. This score was the best in the Armenian Premier League for the 1994 season. In 1995, Yesayan transferred to [FC Yerevan](/source/FC_Yerevan). While he was playing for Yerevan, the club won the [1997 Armenian Premier League](/source/1997_Armenian_Premier_League) and became the 1998 [Armenian Cup](/source/Armenian_Cup) finalist. Yesayan later moved to [Torpedo Zaporizhia](/source/FC_Torpedo_Zaporizhia) and played there for the 1999–2000 season. Part way through the season, he transferred to [Ararat Yerevan](/source/FC_Ararat_Yerevan), which became the finalist in the [2000 Armenian Premier League](/source/2000_Armenian_Premier_League). With 17 goals, Yesayan was the second top goalscorer. He then played for the Lebanese-Armenian club [Homenmen Beirut](/source/Homenmen_Beirut) from 2000 to 2002. Yesayan then moved back to Armenia and joined [Banants Yerevan](/source/FC_Banants). With the club, they became Armenian Premier League finalists twice in [2002](/source/2002_Armenian_Premier_League) and [2004](/source/2004_Armenian_Premier_League) and Armenian Cup finalists twice in 2003 and 2004. He rejoined Ararat Yerevan in 2004. In 2005, he played for [Artsakh Republic](/source/Artsakh_Republic) club [Lernayin Artsakh](/source/Lernayin_Artsakh_FC). Yesayan joined Ararat Yerevan for a third time in 2005 and retired from football on the club in 2006.
==International career==
Yesayan had participated in 21 international matches and scored four goals for the [Armenia national football team](/source/Armenia_national_football_team) since his debut in an away [friendly match](/source/exhibition_game) against [Peru](/source/Peru_national_football_team) on 20 February 1996. He left the national squad in 1999. (add second) Yesayan is the tenth top goalscorer for the Armenian national squad of all time.
==Managerial career==
After a career of playing football, Yesayan started coaching. He mostly coached youth and junior teams at first. In late January 2010, he became the head coach of [Ararat Yerevan](/source/FC_Ararat_Yerevan), which he played his last season for. The club had since been relegated to the [Armenian First League](/source/Armenian_First_League).[{{cite web|script-title=ru:Ереванский «Арарат» возглавил Тигран Есаян|url=http://www.armsport.am/ru/news/2/27/4775/|publisher=Armsport.am|accessdate=31 March 2013|language=ru|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20121127232936/http://www.armsport.am/ru/news/2/27/4775/|archivedate=27 November 2012}}] Under the leadership of Yesayan, the club won the [2010 Armenian First League](/source/2010_Armenian_First_League) and returned to the Premier League. After the end of the season and expiry of his contract, Yesayan signed a new contract with the Ararat for a period of one year.[{{cite web|script-title=ru:Тигран Есаян продолжит работу в «Арарате»|url=http://www.armsport.am/ru/news/2/26/14832/|publisher=Armsport.am|accessdate=31 March 2013|language=ru|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20101217032356/http://www.armsport.am/ru/news/2/26/14832/|archivedate=17 December 2010}}] On 16 February, Yesayan had resigned from his post as head coach. The reason was the approach of the preparatory process of the team during the fall and spring transfer window and lack of serious recruitment of players who would seriously strengthened the team in games against Premier League clubs. In general, because of these factors, as well as other minor disclosed information, Yesayan left the club.[{{cite web|script-title=ru:Главный тренер Арарата подал в отставку|url=http://www.armsport.am/ru/news/2/26/16614/|publisher=Armsport.am|accessdate=31 March 2013|language=ru|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20121127230514/http://www.armsport.am/ru/news/2/26/16614/|archivedate=27 November 2012}}]
He later became the head coach of Banants-2 for 2011. After dismissed from his post as head coach of Banants-2 that same year, Ashot Barseghyan filled the vacant position in the club.[{{cite web|script-title=ru:Тигран Есаян возглавил «Бананц-2»|url=http://www.armsport.am/ru/news/2/27/20338/|publisher=Armsport.am|accessdate=31 March 2013|language=ru|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120424074828/http://old.armsport.am/|archivedate=24 April 2012}}] At the end of the season left office.
At the end of February 2012, Yesayan returned to the coaching staff of Ararat, only this time as the coach of Ararat-2.[{{cite web|script-title=ru:Тигран Есаян тренирует «Арарат-2»|url=http://www.armsport.am/ru/news/2/54/33016/|publisher=Armsport.am|accessdate=31 March 2013|language=ru|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://archive.today/20130114171922/http://www.armsport.am/ru/news/2/54/33016/|archivedate=14 January 2013}}]
