The Gabala FC 2011-12 season is Gabala FC's sixth Azerbaijan Premier League season, and their second season under manager Tony Adams. On 16 November 2011, Adams resigned due to family problems.[1][2] Adams' replacement was announced as Fatih Kavlak.


On 23 December Gabala revealed that Serge Djiehoua had terminated his contract with the club and that they are now seeking a new forward.[3] On 7 January 2012, Gabala announced the signing of Yannick Kamanan from Mersin İdmanyurdu on a two-half year deal[4] to replace the recently departed Serge Djiehoua.
On 9 January 2012, Gabala and Shakhtar Donetsk announced a partnership that would see the possibility of players being sent on loan to Gabala from Shakhtar.[5]
