Bangladesh Football Federation president Kazi Salahuddin on Sunday instructed the development committee to halve the number of coaches paid by the Asian Football Confederation so that a foreign coach can be employed for the Sylhet Football Academy.
\nAFC provides the fund for paying 20 development coaches but BFF president claimed that at least half of the coaches lack quality and the remaining half are capable of running all the programmes.
\n\u2018I told Badal [development committee chairman Badal Roy] to reduce the number to 10,\u2019 Salahuddin told reporters on Sunday.
\n\u2018I believe 10 quality coaches are enough to run the all development programmes and if we reduce the number then it will be easier for us to appoint a foreign coach for the Sylhet Academy.\u2019
\nAfter getting the instruction from the BFF boss, the development committee also discussed the matter in their meeting on Sunday.
\n\u2018I raised the point in our meeting but we haven\u2019t taken any final decision,\u2019 said Badal. \u2018Before taking the decision we will have to review the performances of our existing coaches.\u2019
\nBadal said that they formed a five-member committee, headed by former national player Sheikh Mohammed Aslam, to review the performances of the coaches and they will take the decision after assessing the committee report.
\n\u2018The committee will review the coaches\u2019 performances and will recommend us whether we should reduce the number of coaches or not,\u2019 Badal said.
\nThe one year contract of 20 coaches will end on December 31 and BFF technical director BA Jubair Nipu will also give his evaluation report to the review committee.
\nCurrently four AFCA-licensed coaches, 14 AFC B-licensed coaches and two AFC C-licensed coaches are employed under the development committee of the BFF.
\nCoaches often alleged that they had to sit idle most of the time
\nas the BFF cannot provide them any work.
\nThe move came on a day when the BFF itself issued a press release seeking applications for the fresh appointment of development coaches.<\/p>\n
