Zemplín Michalovce

Hovhannisyan made his professional debut for Zemplín Michalovce against DAC Dunajská Streda on 24 May 2019. DAC had won the game 5-0. Hovhannisyan had replaced Sadam Sulley 56 minutes into the game, when the score was 4-0. Souleymane Kone had scored the final goal some 13 minutes after Armen's arrival.[1]

He scored his first league goal for Zemplín on 30 November 2019, in a match against iClinic Sereď at neutral Stadium Myjava, in a 2:0 victory. Hovhannisyan came on as a stoppage time replacement for Modibo Sidibé, but managed to score a goal from a counter-attack set by Christos Kountouriotis.[2] He managed to score again in the next round too, during a home match against Spartak Trnava. Hovhannisyan came on as a replacement for Sidibé once again, this time after the Nigerien striker suffered an injury in the 50th minute. In this match, Hovhannisyan scored following a pass by Peter Kolesár, sealing the score of the game for 2:0.
