Humiliating defeats: PFF sacks national coach
Staff Report
ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Football Federation (PFF) has sacked national soccer coach Akhtar Mohiuddin, a source told Daily Times here on Sunday. Source said the national team’s blow par performance in the recently concluded SAFF Championship in Maldives was the main reason for the removal of the coach. “The Pakistan team gave very shameful results in the international competition,” he added. It is pertinent to mention that Pakistan lost their matches against Maldives, India and Nepal.
He said the PFF, despite its tall claims, was not able to field a talented team in the championship. “The national federation failed to build a strong outfit after the national team’s foreign coach Salman Shereeda was shown the door. The coach from Bahrain uplifted the standard of the game in the country and the team was giving acceptable performances against the high-ranking teams of the region,” he maintained.
