Inter Milan midfielder and former captain of the Armenian national team, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, has presented his book My Life Always in the Center.

He was assisted in writing by renowned Italian sports journalist and author Alessandro Alciato, known for his biographies of football legends such as Carlo Ancelotti, Andrea Pirlo, Andriy Shevchenko, and Fabio Cannavaro. Now, the Armenian midfielder joins this distinguished list.

“For me, this is more than a book. Helping Henrikh was a great honor. I met a very kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable person who carries only good within himself. He opened up and told a deep story — his story. There is so much in it, not only about football. There is his father, whom he lost at the age of 7, Armenia, where he grew up without water and electricity, Mount Ararat as a symbol, his close bond with his grandmother, his respect for those who came before him. There are also coaches — from Arsène Wenger to José Mourinho, there is Yerevan, Ukraine, Dortmund, Manchester, London, Rome, Milan, and even Claudio Lotito. There are feelings, love, tears, and happiness. Henrikh is a special person whom I have come to love very much,” said Alessandro Alciato.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s book will be released on October 7 in Italian under the title: “La mia vita sempre al centro.” The book contains 271 pages.
